For the record, Cablevision's MSG last year sold most of its ownership in Fuse to SiTV Networks, owner of young Latino predominately-English-speaking channel NuvoTV (and with JLo and her manager Benny Medina in key positions). Nuvo moved most of its programming (repeats, standup and reality, for the most part) over to Fuse in a relaunch in September of this year and rebranded Nuvo as predominately-music channel FM. Some of you may remember when MSG rebranded MuchMusicUSA as Fuse they did a big ad campaign taking potshots at MTV for becoming more reality shows and less music videos. Well, MTV has the last laugh now (and Fuse was already reducing its vidclip time before the merger with Nuvo).
And yes, SiTV was Nuvo's original name before Medina and Lopez became involved.
