Club Phusion

I have it on my Favorites. The station sounds good.
I do like the sound of Club Phusion but the one thing about dance is the fact, that for the most part, it is region based here in the US.
I've heard dubstep tracks played on that station and admittedly I'm not too particularly crazy about the sound. Most New Yorkers aren't. But for areas like California, New England, parts of the Midwest, there is a huge following for it and for those places, if Club Phusion was a regional formatted station, then yeah, definitely get on dubstep.
Club Phusion is a good station but I do think for NYC, we need something that has local flavor to it...and not just the music but everything about the NYC vibe in there.

Don't forget, Club Phusion is not only an iHeartRadio station, it's also a real Clear Channel Format Lab's station available for any station to take and use as it's HD-2 feed. That's why it's more mainstream musically.
It's programmed by my co-worker, Brian Fink of WFLZ/Tampa. He also Host/Programs the Saturday Night House Party which airs live on 93.3 FLZ every Saturday from 7p to 10p EST. It's a great show, try tuning in sometime - they do full segments of Dubstep at times.

I'm not saying that we need a Club Phusion on the FM dial here. Sure it caters to a national audience, I get that. And Brian Fink is a good programmer, I've met him at a couple of dance music oriented conventions. No diss on him. We just want something on a New York level. That's all. And as much as dubstep may be gaining a lot of heat in many places, it doesn't work here in NYC.

All of the iHeartRadio stations are affiliated with CC, which gives them less credibility. CC does not allow their stations to be listed on TuneIn, that way they can be exclusive with iHeart, which is a marketing gimmick.
Keep in mind that Clear Channel is the Devil. Radio was Real before they took over and scooped up all the smaller independant stations with a credible format. Once they had control of most of the CHR stations in the country during the early 2000's, they made sure all you heard was 50 Cent, Ja Rule, Ashanti and tons of lame Urban. They brainwashed a whole generation that Hip Hop is the choice of mainstream music, while ignoring anything Dance. Now all the sudden they wanna be on board? Posers....

Hey, keep in mind that they saved Atlanta, BIG time! Imagine amount of dance, rhythmic top 40, and possibly many other things that would've otherwise never been played in Atlanta if it weren't for ClearChannel to grow balls and change the radio scenery! I have a soft spot in my heart for CC right now. WWVA (or the massive improvement of WWVA) will be on my top 100 end of the year countdown list of best things to happen in 2011!

I don't think CC ever truly wanted to be hip hop. I believe they're actually thriving even more now that the top 40 sound has turned more "safe" and caters to a more nationwide demographic because now they can just easily launch chr's everywhere and easily pull in the money playing hits. They could even program chr's or flip other stations to chr in places where they couldn't do hip hop. I'd say a top 40 pop station is easier to run than a top 40 hip hop station that leans urban-rhythmic and is somewhat full of regional hip hop hits. I think the only reason they jumped on hip hop so much was because that's what was big at the time, but if they had to choose, they'd most likely pick today's trendy sound over the hip hop era of the 00's.

I have my three hour show there. And I will admit, only the first hour of that show (and depending on the DJ for the third hour) would be perfect for radio. That second hour goes WAY out there in terms of different and progressive.
Just because I'm there though doesn't mean that I don't want a station to go on terrestrial in some fashion as a full time basis. I'll always be supportive of Rick over at Party Radio USA as well as being supportive of a station that steps it up in NYC. If dubstep WASN'T in the format, then Club Phusion would be perfect in that sense. But I understand that other places in the country are into the genre. New York City isn't (perhaps the suburbs but that's the extent of it)
