Univision has pulled the plug on Fusion TV, the cable network it initially conceptualized as an English-language news and lifestyle channel targeting millennial Latinos. But it ended up being a mish-mash with no true identity that ended up being a convoluted money-losing mess.
The network ceased operations today, December 31. Its rocky tenure lasted 8 years. In a statement about Fusion’s demise Univision said the company its “sole focus” in 2022 will be on Spanish-language audiences and the launch of its new streaming service.
The move puts an end to a project that had a lot of promise but ended as a failed experiment that started with Univision partnering with ABC to launch Fusion as a joint venture.

A new Univision says
For ABC was just a write off.
That chapter had the same tittle as that book, La Gran Estafa, this one just under a different author.
Good thing he is gone, along with his parcerito.
Marcelo Salup says
I have never seen either Fusion or BigFoot… I had no idea it was still under life support.
Gavin says
I guess this is good riddance. The network was a crash and burn after ABC brought out or sold it stake in it. The only good program was UNews.
James says
Thank to Issac Lee waist of millions of dollars,

Embezzlement always was his expertise. Big numbers.
