The 60s on 6 (or just The 60s) is a commercial-free, satellite radio station on the XM Satellite Radio platform. It plays music from the 1960s, mostly the Top 40 hits. The channel is programmed by Pat Clarke, and Music Director is Phlash Phelps, the leader of the Phunny Pharm Phan Clan. Like the other decades channels, The 60s on 6 attempts to recreate the feel of 1960s radio. They use similar DJ habits, jingles, 60s slang, and news updates. The channel is also used for XM's annual pop music chronology, IT.
