The '90s on 9 (or just The '90s) is the name of Sirius XM Radio's 1990s commercial-free music channel, heard on Sirius XM channel 9 and Dish Network channel 6009. The channel focuses mostly on hit-driven R&B, hip-hop, rock, pop, and dance{{Cite news|url=http://www.siriusxm.ca/channels/90s-on-9/|title=90s on 9 {{!}} SiriusXM Canada|last=Canada|first=SiriusXM|work=SiriusXM|access-date=2018-06-11|language=en-US}} tracks from the 1990s. Many of the station IDs spoof movies, TV characters, songs and TV commercials that were popular during the decade. Occasionally, lesser-known songs are played, preceded by the "five disc CD changer set on random" tagline. The channel's logo features a compact disc in place of the zero, representing the popularity of CDs in the 1990s.
History
The service signed on September 25, 2001, and broadcasts on Sirius XM channel 9 and on Dish Network channel 6009. It was also heard on DirecTV until February 9, 2010. On November 12, 2008, it was added to Sirius, replacing the original Pulse (which carried a 1990s & hot AC hybrid) on Sirius channel 9, whereas the new Pulse (formerly Flight 26), which solely carries modern AC music, was added to Sirius channel 12. In addition, it also replaced the online-only Super Shuffle channel on Sirius, last heard on satellites in mid-2008.[https://www.pcmag.com/slideshow_viewer/0,3253,l=301009&a=301009&po=3,00.asp SiriusXM Internet Radio] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304073735/http://www.pcmag.com/slideshow_viewer/0%2C3253%2Cl%3D301009%26a%3D301009%26po%3D3%2C00.asp |date=2016-03-04}}{{Failed verification|date=December 2014}} As Sirius's first all-1990s channel since I-90 signed off on November 4, 2002, the channel was jockless from February 3, 2014, when both Jo Jo Morales and KT Harris were let go in a cost-cutting move,{{cite web|title=50s On 5 And 90s On 9 Channels Go Jock-Free On SiriusXM|url=http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/126429/50s-on-5-and-90s-on-9-channels-go-jock-free-on-sir?ref=mail_recap|publisher=allaccess.com|date=3 February 2014|accessdate=13 September 2014}} until May 26, 2015, when former MTV VJ Downtown Julie Brown, who also hosts the weekend's "Back in the Day Replay Countdown", began hosting the channel on a daily basis.{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/SXM90sOn9/status/603638007032225792|title=The 90s on 9 on Twitter|publisher=Twitter|date=27 May 2015|accessdate=27 May 2015}}
