* It can be seen on 4:3 prints of 1998-2002 seasons of ''Law & Order'' (not on the Sundance airings, which use the 2004 NBC Universal Television Distribution logo, nor widescreen DVDs, which use the NBC Universal Television Studio logo instead, or on local reruns, which use the 2011 NBCUniversal Television Distribution logo), the first three seasons of ''Law & Order: SVU'' on MyNetworkTV and intact on its DVD box sets, the final two seasons of ''Hercules: The Legendary Journeys'' on TeleXitos, H&I, and when last aired on the Hub Network (before the rebrand to Discovery Family).

When Universal Television, USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel were sold to Barry Diller's HSN Inc. from The Seagram Company 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 and then folded PolyGram into Universal, forming Universal Studios Network 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.
