* '''Fusion''', an English-language effort (formerly co-managed with [[Creator/AmericanBroadcastingCorporation ABC]]) which doesn't have the usual 'breaking news and pundit fight' format of the regular news networks, but serves to bring information in a compelling format to younger viewers regardless of race or language, along with original news programming. Univision anchor Jorge Ramos has his own show on the network. Rather than CNN or Fox News, Fusion probably competed more with the defunct Pivot, as their focus is more on commentary, documentary, and even comedic programming than reporting or debates.

* '''Creator/ElReyNetwork''', a joint venture between Creator/RobertRodriguez, Univision, and Cox Communications (Collectively known as "El Netwarko Groupo") focusing on grindhouse-style content. It is best known for original series such as ''Series/FromDuskTillDawn'' and ''Wrestling/LuchaUnderground''. The network has been likened to a Hispanic-targeting Creator/SpikeTV, back when it was fixated on action shows and movies.

* '''Univision tlnovelas''', a cable network in 2012 launched to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin air old telenovelas]], along with some older shows which never aired north of the border.
* '''TUDN''', another 2012-launched cable network which serves as Univision's attempt to compete with Creator/{{ESPN}} and Fox Deportes, and has already done very well thanks to their focus on the Mexican Premier League and other Latin American sports rights neglected by Fox and ESPN (which along with Al Jazeera's [=BeIn=] Sports, all focus more on Euro-Asian football than Latin America), or bungled by [=GolTV=].

** The '''Fusion Media Group''' was formed after ABC abandoned Fusion. After a lawsuit by Wrestling/HulkHogan that all but destroyed the company, Univision acquired most of the '''Gawker Media''' blogs (including sites such as ''Kotaku'', ''Gizmodo'', ''Deadspin'', etc., but ''not'' its namesake) to increase its English-language footprint, aligning them within FMG as the '''Gizmodo Media Group'''. FMG also houses Univision's stake in ''Website/TheOnion'' and its entertainment site ''The A.V. Club'', as well as online African-American magazine ''The Root''. All of these websites were also switched to the same format and platform formerly used by Gawker. Fusion TV's editorial efforts were later spun out from the channel and into this division under the new title ''Splinter''.

Dork Age was renamed


* In 2000, Univision bid for the broadcast stations of Creator/USANetwork, a chain of stations which formerly aired nothing but the Home Shopping Network but by then were airing a local form of UsefulNotes/{{Toronto}}'s Creator/{{Citytv}}, though their 50-69 channel positions and surrounding programming provided a drain on USA itself. Creator/{{Disney}} was expected to win the stations when they were put up for sale, but Univision's bid was better. Though a few stations in markets where Univision didn't have an affiliate converted to the main network, the rest, along with other affiliates which came on, formed into a second Univision network known as '''Telefutura''', which came into existence as a vault network for Univision's most enduring novelas, and for a way for Univision to snap up Spanish-dubbed Hollywood film rights usually grabbed by Telemundo during their Sony-owned DorkAge, along with airing more sports that might not rate well on the main network but do good enough for the diehards. It was rebranded as '''[=UniMas=]''' ("mas" means "more") in 2013, and pretty much matches Telemundo in the ratings.
