[edit] History
Club Phusion was launched on March 31, 2006 over the subcarrier channel of Top 40 Mainstream KZCH/Wichita, Kansas. At the time, it was one of eight Dance-formatted stations being offered by the Format Lab, along with WiLD en Espanol, Trancid, Workout Channel, Pride Radio, KDWB's Party Zone, WFLZ's House Party and Classic Dance. Since then, WiLD en Espanol, Trancid, and Workout Channel have been eliminated, while WFLZ and KDWB merged their formats with Club Phusion. Since June 2008, Club Phusion, Pride Radio and Classic Dance remain as the only Dance-formatted holdovers from the Format Lab, which since have been replaced by iHeartRadio.
On August 19, 2010, Club Phusion was added to the channel line-up on iHeartRadio...allowing people with iPads, iPhones, Blackberries, and Androids to listen for free with the iHeartRadio app. It is now also streaming on iheartradio.com.
[edit] Programming
At the start Club Phusion offered a heavily-focused Top 40 playlist that was mostly made up of current Dance hits and Rhythmic/Pop remixes, all commercial-free and jockless 24/7, but it has since been retooled into a Dance-focused approach. Even though they still feature current Rhythmic/Dance/Pop hits, there is now more emphasis on Club/Electronica product. The R&B/Hip-Hop elements have since been removed, thus allowing Club Phusion to become completely Pure Dance. Brian Fink, who resides at WFLZ/Tampa, Florida, is the current Program Director for Club Phusion.
