Fusion is bringing progressive online political networkย The Young Turks (TYT) to television in an attempt to bolster the youth network’s coverage of the 2016 presidential election.
The Young Turks, along with a group of Fusion reporters, will travel to college campuses around the country to highlight specificย issues for 12 weeks, startingย on Sept.ย 5. A Fusion insider compared the show to ESPN’s “College GameDay,” only for politics.
“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,” Fusion CCO and co-president Daniel Eilemberg said.
