The syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast was founded in 1998 by Mary Nichols (a.k.a. DJ Fusion) while she was an undergraduate student at Rutgers University to expose the best of Hip-Hop & Soul Music (and just quality Black Music in general - Reggae, Jazz, House, Disco, Electronica, Rock, etc.), from all over the world - "Independent" to "Mainstream" and "Old School" to "New School".
This weekly 3 hour clean/radio friendly radio mixshow was also created to bring quality news coverage & commentary along with interviews of various artists, activists, writers, businesspeople and others for the Hip-Hop & Soul Music communities, which seemed to be sorely lacking in some of the mainstream Urban/Black Radio formats.
Mixshow DJ, music producer and co-host Jon Judah became a part of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast staff in late 2003.
