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. 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 12, 2004, USA Cable Entertainment, along with other NBC Universal subsidiaries, used the NBCU logo instead of this ID or the Universal Television logo. This logo was in use as the ID of USA Cable Entertainment, the production unit of USA Network and Sci-Fi Channel.
