Fusion FM first took to the airwaves in 2001, using a 2 Watt vfo rig from Matt James, aka J Bassline G, parent’s house in Brandhall/Oldbury. The signal was only good for around 3 miles, but could be heard 7-8 miles away on a good day.
Fusion or Jay wasn’t heard on air for a few years after that, but then Jay met up with Paul Johnson. He was a close family friend that had been on a number of stations and also run his own station, Explosion FM. This is where Jay’s real passion for radio began, and at the age of 18 was offered a show on Explosion 103.5 FM, where he started playing jungle.
After playing on Explosion for around 6 months, Jay decided to re-launch Fusion on 97.5 FM. They ran 120 Watts direct from a school friend’s house that lived in a very high location in the Black Country. Now, with around 6 jocks, and transmitting every Friday and Saturday night for around 6 months, the station got a good listener base and the phone was nonstop. Fusion could be heard as far away as Telford/Derby/Stoke on Trent and so on. After 6 months or so, Jay decided enough was enough of running direct, and Fusion went off air with a few tests from different locations.
Fusion wasn’t really heard again until 2011, and this is where the station really made a stand with a number of transmitters, transmitter sites and the backing of a good crowd. Fusion was back on the airwaves in full effect with a pretty big signal and multi-band compression. The station was on every weekend with bigger names wanting to join the station. The station was getting a bit of a name, but sadly this only lasted for around 8 months as Jay had other thinks to take care of. The station was too much to run, and Fusion hasn’t been heard since.
