<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">USA Networks Inc. is acquiring a controlling interest in online travel site Expedia Inc. and launching a cable channel devoted to travel, giving media mogul Barry Diller a major foothold in the travel business.
As part of the deal announced Monday, Diller, who is chairman and chief executive of USA Networks, will also acquire National Leisure Group Inc., a privately held online travel company. Diller will fold Expedia, NLG, the new channel and his stake in the Hotel Reservations Network, an online booking service, into one business unit.</font>
