Jennifer
Lopez has
beaten Puff Daddy to purchase Fuse TV network.
The
'Dance Again' singer and her NuvoTV company have reportedly won a fierce
bidding war against her ex-boyfriend, successfully snapping up the
music-oriented cable channel from The Madison Square Garden Company (MSG).
According
to the New York Post, things got heated between the pair, who dated from 1999
to 2000, with both parties reportedly offering around $200 million for the
prize and Jennifer finally emerging victorious.
The
mother-of-two - who has six-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc
Anthony - was unveiled as Latina network NuvoTV's new chief creative
officer in May 2013.
She has
been campaigning for more diverse Hispanic programming content and has also set
up Latino mobile phone service Viva Móvil.
Meanwhile,
Puff Daddy - real name Sean Combs - launched his own
music-focused cable network REVOLT last autumn, which is currently exclusive to
Comcast and Time Warner Cable.
Fuse has
allegedly been unsuccessful under MSG, despite going through several rebrands,
and the broadcasting company is thought to be returning to focusing more on
subscriptions and regional sports following the sale.
