The channel changed its name to 13th Street Universal on 13 October 2010. The additional "Universal" notation was dropped in March 2017 as part of a reimage effort. Local versions of the network began to shut down in the mid-2010s in deference to streaming services, including NBCUniversal's own Hayu and Peacock.
