Both well-known stars from the music scene and relatively unknown newcomers are shown on the station. Fuse is aimed at the target group of 18–34 year olds.
Originally, the station was limited to indie rock , alternative rock , heavy metal and punk music , but many other styles of music are now also represented.
history
1994-2001
Originally the network was part of Cablevision and CHUM Ltd. and mostly broadcast the same programs as the Canadian broadcaster MuchMusic . After CHUM Limited sold half of the company to Cablevision , they acquired the trademark rights to MuchMusic through a license agreement .
2001-2003
In the spring of 2001 Cablevision began broadcasting its own program under the name MuchMusic USA . The program consisted primarily of music videos , short advertisements and some of the old Canadian music programs , which were reduced to one hour a day in December 2002.
At the beginning of 2003, CHUM withdrew the license for the name MuchMusic and all rights dependent on it from Cablevision . In March 2003, Cablevision announced the change of name to Fuse, which will apply from April 2003 .
2003-2010
After the name change, Fuse not only broadcast music videos, but also the first talk shows and music-related series. In 2008 they were given the rights to broadcast various music festivals, e.g. B. Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival , Vans Warped Tour and Voodoo Experience . In 2009, Fuse broadcast daily music news under the title The Daily Noise, and broadcast concerts by Fall Out Boy and John Mayer .
In October 2009 Fuse broadcast a Jay-Z concert in Madison Square Graden at the same time as the broadcaster MuchMusic Canda .
