I'm out in the hinterlands. Can someone tell me what TRIO is?

I'm pretty sure this documentary is one that was made for Australian TV originally, but was regularly shown on Bravo a few years back. I made a copy of it at the time and it's pretty interesting.

Trio is one I'd not heard of, but that's not surprising. I only got Bravo two or three months ago (tho I did know of IT). The previous cable service came out of Tennessee and had umpty-nine country networks.
I was interested in what type of programming Trio carried, ownership, etc. Must be on this Internet-thingy somewhar...

They also have this show called, "Brilliant but cancelled", where they run tv shows that didn't last long on the major networks.
When all of the Broadway actors got together and did that "New York, New York" commercial, Trio showed the entire thing...unlike the regular networks.
It's an interesting channel.

Trio sounds really good. Hmmm, Maybe it's on the premium cable offerings. Or, I'll look for it on my next trip to NYC.

Ah, such is life...
