Jorge Ramos, the No. 1 Spanish-language television anchor, and Leon Krauze, one of the most popular local broadcasters in America, will lead Fusion's Primetime news block.

David Javerbaum, 12-time Emmy Award winner and former Executive Producer and Head Writer for "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," will oversee content for Fusion's nightly block of satire programming and develop the next generation of comedy for the network.Original series, specials and documentaries on weekend nights round out Fusion's signature mix of current events, information, entertainment and humor.

Six of the nation's biggest cable distributors have already agreed to carry the network, including Cablevision, Charter, Cox, AT&T U-verse, Verizon FiOS and Google Fiber.

Fusion's digital presence will come alive in October online and across mobile screens and tablets via video, graphics, memes and dogged journalism.
