In 2000, the CBC and Power Broadcasting sold these channels to [[Barry Diller]]'s [[USA Networks]]. Diller's company was later acquired by [[Vivendi Universal]], which in turn was partially acquired by [[NBC]] to form [[NBCUniversal]]. NBCUniversal still owns the Trio brand, which no longer has any association with the CBC (and became an Internet-only broadband channel which was later folded into [[Bravo (U.S. TV channel)|Bravo]].) The channel was shut down and was replaced with the NBCUniversal channel Sleuth (later known as [[Cloo]]). However, the CBC continued to program NWI, with much of its programming simulcast on the domestic Newsworld service. In late 2004, as a result of a further change in NWI's ownership to the [[INdTV]] consortium (including [[Joel Hyatt]] and former [[Vice-President of the United States|U.S. Vice-President]] [[Al Gore]]), NWI ceased airing CBC programming on August 1, 2005, when it became [[Current TV]]. Current later folded and became [[Al Jazeera America]] on August 20, 2013. Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
