Background
El Rey Network is Univision Communications' second cable network to be offered in the English language after Fusion. As with Fusion (which was a joint venture with ABC News until The Walt Disney Company sold its share in 2016), El Rey is also a joint venture between Univision and other parties - in this case, broadcaster Cox Communications and film director Robert Rodriguez, with the entity working under the name of "El Netwarko Groupo".
