Fusion for a new generation.
http://fusion.net/culture/entertainment/story/tv-networks-millenials-17754
Last year, the most viewed network was said to have been none other than UNIVISION. UNIVISION is a Spanish network located in the United States. While this came as a surprise to many, the facts show otherwise. In the 2010 census the Latino population appeared as one of the fastest growing ethnic groups in the United States. Furthermore, Latinos still comprise the biggest group in terms of immigrants.
It is with these facts and with the success of the television network that a more recently a new network has been launched: FUSION. FUSION is a news channel whose target population are the next generation of Latinos, those who were born of immigrant parents. One of the unique characteristics of a network like fusion is that it caters to this population of immigrants by providing services like "immigration help" on their actual website and in their news. Moreover, this network highlights one way that the United States is helping assimilate the large influx of Latinos.
