History

The Spin*Cycle was launched in 2007. It is one of twelve Dance-formatted stations currently being offered by iHeartRadio, along with EDC Radio, Club Jam Dance/Hits/EDM/Retro, Evolution, Tornamexa, Trancid, Pride Radio, Dance Nation 90s, and Masters of the Mix (the latter is notable for focusing on urban music).

Programming

Originally part of the weekend club programming lineup at WFLZ/Tampa, Florida, The Spin*Cycle features continuous mixes of Top 40, Rhythmic and Dance hits. The station bills itself as "The only 24/7 Mixshow Channel" and "Mixing and Remixing the Hits - 24/7" - using mixshow DJs from Clear Channel Top 40 and Rhythmic outlets in hourly sets.

At approximately 3 or 4 minutes after the hour, a 30-second promo is introduced, starting with the exact name of the station (not its branding) and the city followed by "And now, another non-stop mix" and finally the name of the upcoming DJ is spoken out. Then the mix starts instantly.

As of August 2019, the Spin Cycle picked up new competition with Entercom’s launch of the social media-driven “Fire Lane” platform.
