DALLAS — Belo Corp. says it will drop a technology that linked its newspapers and television broadcasts to Internet sites with a mouse-like device called a CueCat.

Belo said too few people used the CueCat, which Belo introduced Oct. 1 on the pages of the Dallas Morning News. Belo declined to provide numbers.

The Dallas-based company invested about $37.5 million in privately held Digital Convergence Corp., the Dallas company that developed the technology. Belo wrote off the investment.
