Fuse Media is partnering with youth culture platform Complex to launch Complex TV, a new free ad-supported streaming channel debuting April 1, 2026. The venture pairs Fuse’s operational backend with Complex’s content library to expand the brand's reach into the growing FAST market.
Fusing backend and brand: The partnership is a strategic play for both companies. Fuse continues its push to assemble a portfolio of culture-defining brands, while Complex gets to scale its content across major streaming platforms—like Roku and Amazon Prime—without building the technical infrastructure from scratch.
Culture on the lineup: The channel will mix original series like Sneaker Shopping and GOAT Talk with licensed films such as Belly and Dear White People. The programming slate features a who's-who of modern culture, from Jay-Z and Beyoncé to Michael Jordan and Billie Eilish.
The official line: In a statement, Fuse CBO Patrick Courtney said, "Complex doesn’t just document youth culture, it helps shape it." Complex EVP Mike Tresvant added that Fuse brings the "scale and operational expertise" to deliver the brand on FAST without compromise.
The deal gives Fuse another powerful brand for its growing FAST portfolio and provides Complex a turnkey solution to monetize its content library on streaming, a clear win-win for both. The partnership builds on Fuse Media's existing momentum, with its FAST portfolio delivering 4.9 billion minutes watched in 2025.
