The Return of Trio

Those of you who have fond memories of TrioTV (We do; our favorite was "My Trio")), that quirky television experiment which once had Kurt Andersen as a consultant, will be glad to know it is being resurrected on the web. According to Paidcontent:


"The defunct cable TV channel Trio is getting a second life online as getTrio.com, its parent NBC Universal said Monday. Known in its first incarnation as an entertainment channel for those with quirky, yet highbrow tastes, the new Trio site translates that sensibility into a pop culture newsletter/search engine. Trio ceased broadcasting in January 2006. As part of its online upgrade, Trio the site, which will operate under the auspices of NBCU cable sibling Bravo, will offer tips on what to do and what buy, all from a global focus."

and, from the Gray Lady:

"With the introduction today of getTrio.com, the short-lived but well-loved cable television channel Trio completes its online comeback.

"Before Trio, which is owned by NBC Universal, stopped broadcasting in January 2006, it was home to original shows like 'Facetime' with Kurt Andersen and 'Film Fanatic' with Amy Sedaris. Its companion Web sites, OUTzoneTV.com and BrilliantButCancelled.com, were introduced last June and May and make available some of the programming that appeared on the channel, as well as offering original content."
