XM describes the channel as "Modern Hits of the 90's & Now," although since it leans towards [[Hot AC]], the station plays no urban music. The music is targeted for the younger adult group, especially for those who are age 16 or older, and the station plays music from such artists as [[John Mayer]], [[Jack Johnson (musician)|Jack Johnson]], [[Green Day]], [[The Fray]], [[Avril Lavigne]], [[Uncle Kracker]], [[Lisa Loeb]], Pink, Colbie Caillat,[[Counting Crows]], and [[Nickelback]]. The channel was added on April 17, 2006 in response to demands by former shareholder Clear Channel Communications. XM agreed that Clear Channel Communications can add commercials to channels which it already provides programming to, such as [[KISS-XM|KISS]], [[Sunny (XM)|Sunny]], and Mix. In response, XM changed their slogan from "100% commercial-free music" to "the most commercial-free music channels on satellite radio". <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/apr2006/tc20060413_150389.htm?campaign_id=rss_tech |title=Coming Soon to XM: More Commercials |accessdate=2007-06-22 |author=Kharif, Olga |date=[[2006-04-13]] }}</ref> In the United States, the newly commercialized channels were moved, whereas they were deleted outright from [[XM Canada]]. ==Weekday Lineup== {| class="wikitable" !
