Studios USA is the third name of Avco Embassy Television, when Barry Diller bought the former Multimedia Entertainment from Seagram's Universal Studios in 1998. It produced and distributed talk shows, including Sally Jessy Raphael, The Jerry Springer Show, and Maury. It also produced shows formerly from Universal Television, including the Law & Order franchise. In 2002, Vivendi Universal acquired Studios USA and the rest of USA's non-shopping (film and TV) assets, and renamed Studios USA back to Universal Television. Since 2004, it is now absorbed into NBC Universal Television.
