Isaac Lee, the CEO of Fusion, the cable and online network launched in 2013 as a joint venture between Univision and Disney/ABC News to appeal to millennials, has been given expanded duties within parent company Univision Communications Inc.

UCI announced Tuesday that Lee has been appointed chief news and digital officer for the company. In the newly created position, Lee will supervise all of UCI’s digital platforms — online, mobile, digital, content and music — for its various outlets, including Univision, Fusion, El Rey Network, The Root and Flama.
