Eight years after playing a key role in the launch of the network, C.J. Olivares has run out of gas at Fuel TV.
The evp and general manager is stepping down from the helm of the Fox Sports cable net, although he will stay on as a consultant to provide transitional support.
Officially, Olivares’ rationale for leaving his post has to do with looking “to pursue opportunities more closely related to the action sports genre.” That's closer to the truth than most departure boilerplate: according to one insider, Olivares had become increasingly disenchanted with Fuel TV’s programming strategy.
Fox Sports is expected to name a replacement for Olivares within the next few days.
