Background
In 1999, after Universal sold its 50% shares of Brillstein-Grey Entertainment to Grey renaming the television unit to Brad Grey Television, Universal launched Universal Studios Network Programming to continue to produce Brillstein-Grey productions such as The Steve Harvey Show, Just Shoot Me! (both of them were respective megahits of NBC and The WB) and Work with Me. After struggling, in 2002, it merged with the network television unit of Studios USA Television to form a newly reorganized Universal Network Television.

Universal Studios Network Programming
(September 21, 1999-November 26, 2003)
Visuals: It's only a short version of the 1997 Universal Studios logo, without any modifications whatsoever. Also, the copyright symbol is added.
Variants:
- On early season 4 episodes of The Steve Harvey Show and Just Shoot Me!, the logo (minus the text and the URL) is seen on the right with the 1995 Brillstein-Grey Entertainment logo on the left inside a white outline box against a gray stone spotlight background.
- On later episodes of the above shows since season 4, the logo is seen on the bottom along with the Brad Grey Television logo above.
Technique: CGI by Picturemill.
Audio: None, the end theme of the show, or a generic theme on original CBS and NBC airings.
Availability: The standalone logo appears on Work with Me. The combo version is seen on the aforementioned shows.
Universal Network Television
(September 27, 2002-May 19, 2004)
Visuals: Almost the same as the previous logo, except the text "UNIVERSAL NETWORK TELEVISION" appears below the logo, with the Universal URL. Also, the text's shadow is not there.
Variants:
- On some shows, the text "in association with" appears above the logo.
- On original ABC and NBC airings, the URL is not shown.
Technique: Same as before.
Audio: Same as the 1997 Universal Television logo. Three short versions of the logo exist:
- 2002-2003: The same odd short version of the original 1997 Universal TV logo, which appears on Robbery Homicide Division.
- 2002-2004: Another odd short version with four notes.
- 2003-2004: Final short version using the first four notes playing fast and the last note of the theme.
Audio Variants:
- ABC, CBS and NBC airings used a generic theme.
- Sometimes, the end theme plays over the logo.
Availability: Much more common than before.
- It is seen on several shows, like 2002-04 episodes of Law & Order and its associated spinoffs, and the 2003 revival of Dragnet.
- It is also seen on the last episode of Columbo.
