'''Background:''' When [[Universal Television]] and the USA Networks were sold to Barry Diller's HSN Inc. from Jos. Seagram and Sons in 1997 (though they kept a 45% interest in Diller's operations), the company was renamed to "Studios USA Television LLC". However in 1998, Universal Studios acquired [[PolyGram Filmed Entertainment (UK)|PolyGram Filmed Entertainment]] and then folded PolyGram into Universal, reforming Universal Television when the acquisition was completed in 1999. In 2001, USA Networks was purchased by Vivendi Universal, reuniting Studios USA with Universal Studios, and renaming Studios USA to "Universal Network Television" and Studios USA Television Distribution to "Universal Domestic Television". In June 2002, the "Universal Glittering Globe" replaced the Studios USA logo. After Vivendi Universal bought back the USA Networks and Studios USA to fully reform Universal Television, the company kept the USA Cable Entertainment name for some television shows. Following the introduction of the NBC Universal logo on July 12, 2004, USA Cable Entertainment, along with other NBC Universal subsidiaries, has either used this ID or Universal Television. This logo was in use as the ID of USA Cable Entertainment, the production unit of USA Network.
