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 $2.00 a semester. Due to a referendum held in January 2007, this levy is expected to increase, starting September 2007 to $3.50 a semester. This levy is meant to be used towards acquiring an FM licence so that Fusion Radio may better serve the Scarborough Community.
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 Association (NCRA). The station also publishes a monthly newsletter, The Scarborough Frequency. Recently, the station acquired a mascot named "Fuse the Fox."
- Note: CSCR radio, prior to the internet option was also a Cable FM station, broadcasting at 90.3 on the Cable FM dial.
Recently, Rogers Cable discontinued cable radio as a listening choice for all cable radio stations. Although many radio stations found on cable FM radio can now be found through the digital cable box, Until further notice, Fusion radio is not part of the radio line up there.

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.)
