T-Pain’s School of Business, The Hollywood Puppet Show and all Fuse TV shows have been cancelled on Comcast.
The news comes as Comcast drops Fuse after more than a decade of carriage.
Michael Schwimmer, President and CEO of Fuse Media, said:
“Despite Comcast’s publicly-stated commitment to support diverse and independently operated networks, Comcast has elected to drop Fuse, a multicultural-focused television network, on December 31, after more than a decade of carriage. This decision is both surprising and troubling considering that Fuse met Comcast’s financial demands and no other requirements were ever communicated to us. A commitment to diversity is an enduring value, not a politically expedient card for Comcast to play until such time as consent decrees or business objectives no longer require it. Comcast’s behavior leading to its decision to drop Fuse reveals an agenda inconsistent with their public statements, giving further credence to the merit of on-going DOJ oversight.”
RIP.
