On December 9, 1996, following the rebranding of MCA as Universal Studios by Seagram & Sons, Universal renamed the MCA Television Entertainment (MTE) division as Universal Television Entertainment.
On October 20, 1997, Universal sold off USA Network, Sci-Fi Channel, and Universal Television to HSN Inc. (a company owned by Barry Diller) for $4.075 billion, and renamed it to Studios USA Television LLC. Therefore, UTE was renamed to Studios USA Pictures.
