FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pop­fuzion TV Launch­es Pop­fuzion Live, an Uplift­ing Mil­len­ni­al Lifestyle Series Fus­ing Enter­tain­ment, Pur­pose, and Pos­i­tive News Sto­ries

LOS ANGELES, CA – March 19, 2025 – Pop­fuzion TV is excit­ed to announce the launch of its lat­est orig­i­nal pro­duc­tion, Pop­fuzion Live, a 30-minute lifestyle series that fus­es pop cul­ture with pur­pose. Host­ed by dynam­ic media tal­ents Francesca Ellana and Rochelle Amber, the show is com­mit­ted to spot­light­ing impact­ful sto­ries, emerg­ing voic­es, and com­mu­ni­ty change­mak­ers with style, heart, and sub­stance; an exten­sion of Pop­fuzion TV.

Pro­duced in part­ner­ship with I Ain’t No Herb Jack­son Stu­dios, this sea­son marks a full-cir­cle moment for Exec­u­tive Pro­duc­er Herb Jack­son Jr., who got his start with Pop­fuzion years ago. Reflect­ing on his return, Jack­son shared:

“I received some of my ear­li­est train­ing through the Pop­fuzion fam­i­ly, which sig­nif­i­cant­ly influ­enced my begin­nings. They gave me the oppor­tu­ni­ty to host a seg­ment and encour­aged me to cre­ate my own con­tent,” he said. “Now, years lat­er, I am thrilled to have the chance to col­lab­o­rate with them once again. I am incred­i­bly excit­ed to join Pop­fuzion Live as an Exec­u­tive Pro­duc­er.”

Jack­son believes the show couldn’t have come at a bet­ter time, giv­en the cur­rent media cli­mate:

“In today’s dig­i­tal land­scape, we often encounter harm­ful con­tent on news feeds and social media plat­forms. The phrase ‘If it bleeds, it leads’ holds a lot of truth,” he explained. “Such con­tent is designed to pro­voke emo­tion­al respons­es, lead­ing to divi­sion and hatred. I find this approach unap­peal­ing and pre­fer to hear about the pos­i­tive things peo­ple are doing. Pop­fuzion Live address­es this issue by focus­ing on uplift­ing and pos­i­tive sto­ries.”

Co-host Rochelle Amber echoed the show’s heart­felt mis­sion, shar­ing her enthu­si­asm for the ener­gy and impact of the project:

“Pop­fuzion Live is refresh­ing, uplift­ing, and informative—all at once,” she said. “It’s just what the world needs more of.”

Francesca Ellana, co-cre­ator of Pop­fuzion TV and host of Pop­fuzion Live, shared the heart behind the show’s cre­ation:

“I cre­at­ed Pop­fuzion Live because I want­ed to keep peo­ple informed about what’s hap­pen­ing in entertainment—while also giv­ing them a chance to see a dif­fer­ent, more per­son­al side of their favorite celebri­ties,” said Ellana. “The show blends pop cul­ture with pur­pose, fea­tur­ing con­ver­sa­tions not only with stars but also with non­prof­its and every­day change­mak­ers who are mak­ing a real impact in their com­mu­ni­ties.”

One of the key archi­tects behind Popfuzion’s orig­i­nal con­cept, Kareem “KT Hol­la” Tuck­er, helped shape the platform’s vision from the ground up along­side Ellana. He shared his thoughts on why this con­tent res­onates deeply with today’s audi­ence:

“I believed in the vision for Pop­fuzion TV because it was all about uplift­ing under­rep­re­sent­ed voic­es and cre­at­ing a plat­form that merges pur­pose with enter­tain­ment. I want­ed to use my skills to help bring that vision to life,” he said.
“This type of news is impor­tant for mil­len­ni­als because we’re look­ing for more than just headlines—we want pur­pose, rep­re­sen­ta­tion, and authen­tic­i­ty,” he added. “Pop­fuzion TV bridges the gap between enter­tain­ment and impact, and that’s the kind of con­tent our gen­er­a­tion con­nects with.”

Gina Tuck­er, anoth­er ear­ly con­trib­u­tor to the platform’s foun­da­tion, recalled her first impres­sion:

“When I first con­nect­ed with Francesca and heard her vision for Pop­fuzion TV, it was clear—this wasn’t just anoth­er enter­tain­ment plat­form,” she said. “She want­ed to spot­light sto­ries that mat­tered: emerg­ing tal­ent, com­mu­ni­ty change­mak­ers, and voic­es often over­looked by main­stream media. I knew I had to be a part of that.”

She empha­sized the show’s rel­e­vance in today’s cul­tur­al cli­mate:

“In today’s world, espe­cial­ly for mil­len­ni­als, we’re sur­round­ed by a con­stant stream of neg­a­tiv­i­ty and divi­sive­ness,” Gina con­tin­ued. “But Pop­fuzion brings some­thing dif­fer­ent to the table—it fus­es pop cul­ture with pur­pose. It reminds us that media can uplift, inspire, and actu­al­ly make a dif­fer­ence. And that kind of news? That’s exact­ly what this gen­er­a­tion is crav­ing.”

A fan-favorite seg­ment of the new series is Pop­fuzion Rewind, a Throw­back Thurs­day spe­cial that revis­its the gold­en era of tele­vi­sion. The seg­ment fea­tures exclu­sive inter­views with stars from icon­ic ’90s sit­coms, offer­ing nos­tal­gic reflec­tions, behind-the-scenes sto­ries, and updates on where those beloved actors are now. Whether it’s revis­it­ing clas­sic episodes or learn­ing how these actors are con­tin­u­ing to make an impact today, Pop­fuzion Rewind is a cel­e­bra­tion of tele­vi­sion his­to­ry with a pur­pose-dri­ven twist.

The first sea­son of Pop­fuzion Live fea­tures an excit­ing and diverse line­up of guests includ­ing:

• Den­nis McDon­ald, actor from Bad Boys II and Bad Boys 4
  
  
• Shane Dougher­ty, con­tes­tant on Hulu’s real­i­ty series Got to Get Out
  
  
• Bran­don D. Lamar, Pres­i­dent of the NAACP Pasade­na Branch, dis­cussing com­mu­ni­ty recov­ery from the Eaton Fires
  
  
• Dan Amboy­er, actor from Netflix’s Sur­vival of the Thick­est
  
  
• Susanne Kogut, Pres­i­dent of Pet­co Love, shar­ing how pet fam­i­lies can recon­nect with lost pets through tech­nol­o­gy
  
  

With a blend of celebri­ty inter­views, real-world impact sto­ries, and engag­ing lifestyle con­tent, Pop­fuzion Live is set to become a vibrant and vital addi­tion to today’s media land­scape.

The show will pre­miere in June on Spec­trum Chan­nel 32 / AT&T U‑verse Chan­nel 99 in Los Ange­les and Cox / Ver­i­zon Fios / Com­cast Chan­nel 10 in Fair­fax, VA, with dig­i­tal stream­ing expan­sion planned lat­er this year.

Pop­fuzion Live aims to enter­tain and edu­cate millennials—proving that good news can still be great TV.
