History

XM channel 161 originally launched as Discovery Channel Radio, and was heard on both XM and Sirius. On September 1, 2005, Discovery Channel Radio was removed from the XM lineup, and months later from Sirius. Eight months later, the channel was brought back to the lineup as a full-time simulcast of WSIX-FM in Nashville. This brought XM 161 under Clear Channel control, as they were able to select any vacant channel of their choosing. This was also the second time WSIX-FM was simulcast on XM, as it was also from 2001-2003 on channel 11, which was known as Nashville! until June 2011 and is now WSIX-FM yet again.

On Friday, August 8, 2008, WSIX left XM Radio for the second time, and the channel began stunting with a commercial free country format. The following Monday, XM 161 played Beatles music nonstop for twelve hours, afterwards reverting to the country format.

Rock@Random launched on XM on Monday, August 18, 2008, with the song Hush by Deep Purple. There is currently no information on whether or not the station will carry a personality-driven lineup.

In December 2008, Rock@Random adjusted their playlist to include newer rock music into the 80s and early 90s.

On June 10, 2009: Rock@Random again adjusted their playlist to include many 80's pop/rock songs with some 70's added-in, however, the playlist provided a rotation of 16 hours of music then playing the same order of songs.

Since then, Rock@Random does not repeat songs too frequently, and does not play the same songs in the same order. It provides a great variety of rock music that is safe for public places because to the editing of profanity. The range of music is from Iron Maiden to Bob Seger, Judas Priest to Pink Floyd, Nirvana to Fleetwood Mac. The station is listed with a "CM" logo, which means the station includes commercials.

On February 22, 2011: Rock@Random was replaced on XM channel 161 by Sixx Sense.

On October 12, 2017, Nikki Sixx announced that he will end his nationally syndicated shows at the end of the year to focus on other projects, including adapting The Heroin Diaries: A Year In The Life of a Shattered Rockstar into a Broadway musical. The final broadcast of Sixx Sense aired on December 31, 2017. [5]
