'''Fuse''' is a Canadian radio program, which aired on [CBC Radio One](/source/CBC_Radio_One), [CBC Radio 2](/source/CBC_Radio_2) and [CBC Radio 3](/source/CBC_Radio_3). Premiering in 2005, each week the program paired two (and occasionally three or more) Canadian musicians for an hour-long concert in which the artists collaborated on a mix of material by all of the involved artists as well as cover songs.

==History==

''Fuse'' first aired in 2005 as a summer program by the producers of ''[Bandwidth](/source/Bandwidth_(radio_program))'', the network's regional arts and culture program in [Ontario](/source/Ontario).<ref name=envelope>"Songwriter show pushes the envelope". ''[Ottawa Citizen](/source/Ottawa_Citizen)'', June 25, 2005.</ref> It aired following ''[Vinyl Tap](/source/Vinyl_Tap)'', taking over the final hour of ''[Finkleman's 45s](/source/Finkleman's_45s)''<nowiki>'</nowiki> timeslot.

The show completed its original run in October 2005, and was replaced by the weekend edition of ''[The National Playlist](/source/The_National_Playlist)''. After ''National Playlist'' was cancelled, ''Fuse'' rejoined the CBC schedule in the spring of 2006.<ref name=days>"Days of the New".
