Trio (TV network)
Trio (or TRIO) is an American cable and satellite television channel owned by NBC Universal.
With the slogan, "pop, culture, TV," Trio programming focuses on television as a cultural tool and artform. The network was originally owned and operated jointly by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Power Broadcasting Inc. (a subsidiary of Power Corporation of Canada) as a venue for airing the CBC's arts, culture and entertainment programming in the US. It was sold to USA Networks in 2000, and was subsequently transferred to Vivendi Universal and later NBC Universal.
In January 2005, DirecTV dropped Trio, eliminating about two-thirds of the homes that can receive the network. Because of this move, Trio's future seems in serious doubt, and NBC may shut it down completely.
