Fusion picks up The Young Turks show
By HADAS GOLD 05/09/16 11:04 AM EDT

The Young Turks is coming to cable TV, with a one-hour weekly show on Fusion.

The show will start in September and run for 12 weeks until the election. It will be hosted by "TYT" hosts Ana Kasparian and Jon Iadarola and will be taped in front of a live audience at college campuses around the country. TYT founder Cenk Uygur, as well as celebrity guest hosts and participants will join in throughout the series.

“Fusion’s goal is to continue elevating the issues that matter to this diverse, emerging generation of young people. The Young Turks and their distinct, passionate voices will be a valuable addition to our coverage of this unconventional and consequential election cycle,” Daniel Eilemberg, Co-President and Chief Content Officer for Fusion said in a statement. “We are excited to hit the road this fall to engage college students from across the country, providing them with a platform to make their voices heard.”

The Young Turks network is one of the largest online video news channels, with a liberal and progressive bent and more than 200 million views a month on YouTube, often beating traditional cable news outlets on the platform.

This is disturbing, we all know Fusions connection to Hillary. Guess Cenk couldn't turn down the money, they found his price. Watch as this new collaboration becomes a cheerleading squad for Hillary. Sorry TYT you may suffer viewer losses for your $$ gains. Good luck with that.
