Scarborough Fusion Radio is an Internet radio station broadcasting from University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) in Scarborough, Ontario. It is run by students of UTSC and members of the Scarborough community, and is owned and operated by Scarborough Campus Community Radio Incorporated (SCCR Inc.) Funding for SCCR is provided by a student levy collected from all full-time UTSC students, currently in the amount of $3.50 a semester.
Formerly a closed circuit station broadcasting to selected locations on the UTSC campus, Fusion Radio has a typical campus radio format and a complete broadcast line-up. Fusion Radio is a member of the National Campus and Community Radio Assocation (NCRA). The station also publishes a monthly newsletter, The Scarborough Frequency. Recently, the station acquired a mascot named "Fuse the Fox."
The station is sometimes known by the call sign CSCR. This is an unofficial call sign as the station does not air on a conventional broadcast band. (Normally a Canadian broadcast station would not be entitled to use the ITU prefix CS.)
