Does XM have a "Jack/Ben" format (popping up around cities now...) like Sirius does?

I am very glad to hear this, I've been hangin on to Sirius because of Super Shuffle & Coffee House....I cant quite put my finger on why Coffee House is different than The Loft but it is.

"The Blend" on XM channel 25 is probably the closest thing that XM currently has to a "Jack FM" (variety hits) format. "The Blend" is their adult contemporary channel, but it is wider and covers a broader reach of music than most AC stations. It is kind of like a hybrid of an adult contemporary and "Jack FM" format. They don't play any of the harder "Jack" rock titles, but they do have the same kind of depth of variety that "Jack" has. You might give them a listen and see if you like them.

Hey there,
Thanks! Actually, I do have "The Blend" as one of my presets along with 70's, 80's, 90's and "Chrome". I do have a complaint with the 90's channel and think I read someone else's post on here a while back saying the same thing. It's too bad XM doesn't provide a 2nd 90's channel without all the rap that became so popular in the 90's. 9 times out of 10 when I flip past 90's--it's another rap-type/urban-type song and I rarely ever find some of the good top 40 type songs on the channel. Also--still hoping for a "Jack/Ben" format soon!
