Ad Age Calls Fusion One of the ‘Cable Channels to Watch in 2014’

Fusion was named one of the “Eight Cable Channels to Watch in 2014” by Ad Age.

Ad Age’s Jeanine Poggi said Fusion’s “plan to win share involves infusing comedy and ‘irreverence’ throughout [its] programming… Fusion will likely benefit from combined backing of its parent companies, media behemoths with extensive avenues to promote their new network. If anyone can break through the clutter in Fusion’s core concentrations, media buyers agreed, it’s a network with the backing of Disney and Univision.”

In addition, The Miami Herald recognized the launch of Fusion as one of “South Florida’s top business stories in 2013” — noting “Miami could find itself home to one of the hottest properties in media.”
