On the on-line stream they have AOL's shuffle (305)streaming. I didn't like it because it takes music from ALL formats.

Not sure there's really a need to have a Jack-type format on satellite radio since both satcasters, by nature, offer dozens and dozens of unique music formats. Jack-type formats make sense on terrestrial radio due to the limited format options in a given market.
For example, here in Dallas we essentially have three music formats that span across (no kidding) 50 or 60 frequencies: Mexican, urban and country. The local Jack station here was a good and welcome addition to the radio landscape. Folks around here dread news of a new station coming on the air because it's a near certainty to be spanish-language, hence my decision to pull the trigger on XM.

I second that. I cannot stand these 'adult hits' stations. IMHO, they insult one's intelligence. I will not listen to a station that plays from Britney Spears 'Toxic' to Rusted Root's 'Send Me On My Way (like they play Rusted Root...I don't know).
Ok, think of the reason you bought XM...not just for hits, right? You might as well just give back your radio, and go back to terrestrial with this thought.

90s on 9 slaps at Jack
I was listening to 90s on 9 tonight. They ran a promo between songs, and my display read:
90s on 9-The KING
of 90s! Not JACK!
I looked, and I laughed. It has somewhat of a double-meaning. It's a play on words concerning the order of playing cards, and it's a slap at Jack-FM stations.<P ID="signature">______________

Sirius decided to carry Super Shuffle on ch 12. Unlike traditional adult hits stations (regardless of name), Super Shuffle plays everything in Sirius's library. That includes mixing in standards next to todays pop hits, then maybe to christian, then classical. You get the idea. I rarely listen to Super Shuffle because their playlist is even wider than Chicago area's Nine FM. Maybe XM might be smart to not include an adult hits station. If they do, then it needs to be programmed to where it isn't the major train-wreck Sirius's super shuffle is.
