NBC Universal Moves TRIO to Online

NBC Universal said that its struggling cable venture, which generated cult buzz among the pop-culture cognoscenti but not among advertisers, would be yanked from its digital channel slot and relaunched as an Internet-only service.

�Trio has always been for people who are obsessed with the arts and pop culture,� said Lauren Zalaznick, president of Bravo. �The Web is a perfect place to expand that programming philosophy to an unlimited audience.�
