Fusiontv

fusiontv is a yet-to-be-launched regional digital television channel for Yorkshire and the surrounding areas with PSB values owned by YBC.

History
The station has a rather colourful story behind it. Originally know as YLN TV when it launched as a terrestrial on limited hours in 1960.

This continued into the 1990s with the widespread take-up of satellite television. It was decided at this point to make the channel a digital-only channel due to money constraints.

The company went through a rough patch in this period and in 2005 it was announced that YLN were going into administration. BBAtv invested in YLN and turned the company around over a period of around two years.

The station plans to return to our screens in the near future as part of the Network Six group of broadcasters. Early ideas for names included BBAtv and YBtf but it was decided, after consultation with Network Six members, that the name sounded too dull. Therefore the name fusiontv was devised. fusiontv plans to launch sometime in the autumn of 2007 once it has gained approval to broadcast from the 6CA.
