The '90s on 9 (or justThe '90s) is the name ofSirius XM Radio's 1990s commercial-free music channel, heard on Sirius XM channel 9 andDish Network channel 6009. The channel focuses mostly on hit-driven R&B, hip-hop, rock, pop, and dance[1] tracks from the 1990s. Occasionally, lesser-known songs are played, preceded by the "five disc CD changer set on random" tagline. Many of thestation IDs spoof movies, TV characters, songs and TV commercials that were popular during the decade, and the channel's logo features acompact disc in place of the zero, representing the popularity of CDs in the 1990s.
