Cloo is a digital cable television channel with programming dedicated to the crime and mystery genres. It is owned and operated by NBCUniversal. It launched on January 1, 2006, replacing Trio. Cloo debuted as Sleuth on DirecTV on June 1, 2006, and on Dish Network nine days later.
As of February 2015, approximately 25,495,000 American households (21.9% of households with television) received Cloo.
Cloo focuses on mystery entertainment, with the majority of the channel's programming borrowed from sister channels NBC and USA Network. However, as of 2014 the network's schedule is made up mostly of repeats of current USA Network series or marathons from the Law and Order franchise, and films either from the NBCUniversal library or acquired as part of USA Network's film rights purchases, meaning films such as Enchanted, The 40 Year-Old Virgin and Bee Movie with nothing to do with crimes or mysteries air on the network.
On August 15, 2011 Cloo was rebranded from its former name of Sleuth, in order to be able to trademark and own the name. NBCUniversal could not do so with the name Clue because Hasbro owns the rights to it with their board game Clue (and in turn owns 40% of its joint venture with Discovery Communications for Discovery Family). NBCUniversal also explained that another reason for the name change was the word "Sleuth" is too common for search engines.
Pay your respects to the vultures
For they are your future
Our fathers and mothers have
Our fathers and mothers have
They have failed to release us
They have failed to release us
They have failed to release us
Into the welcoming arms (repeated)
Of the amethyst deceivers
So pay your respects
So pay your respects
Pay your respects to the vultures
And to the crows
And to the carrion crows
And to the ravens
Those graven ravens
And to the carrion crows
And to the rooks
And to the rooks
And to the vultures
And to the vultures
And to the vultures
Pay your respects to the vultures
For they are our future (repeated)

Our fathers and mothers have

Our fathers and mothers have
They have failed to release us

Welcoming arms
Of the amethyst (repeated)
