fusion and prog

I've always been curious, and would like to see a discussion about it, about why the fusion and prog genres are often combined, including here.

After all, they are completely different types of music. Fusion uses jazz progressions and scales, while prog is not much more than complicated rock riffs.

For example, Yes couldn't play a jazz tune if their lives depended on it, whereas artists like Chick Corea, Al DiMeola and Stanley Clarke, who are strictly jazz musicians, often get lumped into the same prog programs as Yes.

Maybe stations like this should be called progressive rock/fusion jazz.
