-==TV Guide Transition==
-In 1999, [[UVSG]] acquired TV Guide from News Corp, and on February 1st, 1999, the Prevue Channel was relaunched as the [[TV Guide Channel]] at exactly 12:00 AM. YouTube user HulkieG has posted a video of the switch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLApAmSQQ5U on YouTube]. Several months after this name change, the existing [[Prevue Grid]] Amiga-based platform was phased out, replaced by a Windows NT-based system referred to as [[Yellow Grid]] due to its new appearance.
-Many fans of the Prevue Channel regard this relaunch as the beginning of TV Guide Channel's downhill climb. In 2001 and 2002, the channel's programming began to drastically change, andome were turned off by the half-hour advertisements and constant "celeb-talk". The channel began moving away from the previews and highlights that had been the foundation of Prevue Guide.
-==Logo History==
-The original Prevue logo trademark had a USPTO serial of 74108440.

-This version of the logo, introduced around 1996, continues to use Prevue's typeface, but introduces an eye-like design around it. This logo has a USPTO serial of 75066864.
-[[File:PrevueEye.png]]
-The final version of the Prevue logo used the same eye-like style with the '''Univers''' font instead of the original Prevue typeface. This logo has a USPTO serial of 75463258, and the trademark was not cancelled until 2006.
