Fusion TV was an American pay channel owned by Fusion Media Group, a multi-platform media company subsidiary of Univision Communications, which relied in part on the resources of its parent company's news division, Noticias Univision.[2][3] In addition to conventional television distribution, Fusion was streamed online and on mobile platforms to subscribers of participating cable and satellite providers.[4]

Launched on October 28, 2013, the network's content featured news, lifestyle, pop culture, satire and entertainment aimed at English-speaking millennials, including those of a Hispanic background; the channel was Univision's first major push into English-language programming.[5] Fusion was based in "NewsPort", an expansion of the Univision campus (formerly a freight warehouse) at 8551 NW 30th Terrace in the Miami suburb of Doral, Florida, which was shared with Noticias Univision and Univision flagship station WLTV-DT; it maintained additional studios in Los Angeles and bureaus in Mexico City, New York City, and Washington, D.C.[3][6] The channel ceased operations on December 31, 2021.[7]
