'''USA Cable Entertainment''' was formed in 1999 from descendants of the [[USA Network Originals|former in-house network television unit of the USA Network]] and as a subsidiary of [[Studios USA Television]] to produce programming specifically for the cable market. Even after Studios USA rebranded to its Universal name, the USA branding was kept for the cable shows. After Vivendi Universal bought back USA Network, Sci-Fi Channel and Studios USA to fully reform Universal Television, the company kept the USA Cable Entertainment name for cable television shows from USA Network and Sci-Fi. Following the introduction of the NBC Universal logo on July 30, 2004, USA Cable Entertainment, along with other NBC Universal subsidiaries, used the NBCU logo instead of this ID or the Universal Television logo |
