About[edit]
InnerSpace is a fast-paced, late night entertainment show featured on the Space Network. The program airs every Friday night at 11pm Eastern Standard Time. Join Space personalities Ajay Fry, Natasha Eloi and Teddy Wilsonweigh as they reveal the latest Science Fiction topics alongside special guests. Subjects include events, movies, books, video games, comics, and other similar matter in the Sci-Fi genre. Worldwide Sci-Fi fans have the opportunity to express their opinions regarding the show and featured products through e-mail, webcam, Facebook and Twitter.[3]
History[edit]
The show has gone through many changes during it's four year course but the goal has always been the same.[2] Previously known as Hyperspace and later The Circuit, the show would keep itself in change to both keep updated with Sci Fi fans and to update it's format to that of a dialogue where instead of simply recapping Space (TV channel) programming - the programming would be discussed like a forum by InnerSPACE's hosts. After finding out through showing The Circuit that one weekly show was not enough to cover the vast content Space (TV channel) had to offer, the show was updated to InnerSPACE's thirty minute format to achieve a balance of quality and quantity.[2]

Smith, Elyse Levesque, David Blue, Alaina Huffman, Jamil Walker Smith, Ming-Na, Julia Benson, Patrick Gilmore, Jennifer Spence, and Peter Kelamis. The creators of the show Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper were also present and as were the hosts of InnerSPACE. The goal of the event was to discuss the show Stargate Universe and allow for fans to have an exclusive autograph session with some of the cast members.[15] Thanks to InnerSPACE and Space (TV channel), those who could not make it to the live show in Toronto were given the chance to chat online with the featured cast following the broadcast of the episode[14].
