The hosts of  Fusion’s “The Morning Show” – Pedro Andrade, Mariana Atencio, and Yannis Pappas – will participate in crossover event from the “Despierta América” set.

The ABC and Univision morning shows will simulcast portions of their broadcasts to both television networks. That’s the lead up to the debut of the new network, a joint venture between ABC and Univision.

Fusion-logo650The concept of Fusion has evolved since the joint venture was first announced as a “multiplatform news and information service for U.S. Hispanics” in May of 2012.

Later billed as a “cable news and lifestyle network” targeting Hispanic millenials, now Fusion is describing itself as “a news, pop culture and satire TV and digital network” that “will engage and champion a young, diverse, and inclusive America,” with no mention of “Hispanic millenials.”
