[edit] History

XM Hitlist was originally created as a commercial-free alternative to Clear Channel's CHR hits station on XM, KISS, which began airing commercials in May 2006. When Clear Channel began airing commercials on KISS, DirecTV and AOL Radio dropped the KISS stream from their services, and added the XM Hitlist stream instead. XM Radio Canada dropped KISS entirely without a replacement. On April 1st, 2007 XM Canada added Hitlist to its channel line-up.


[edit] Former DJs

For a period of about six months between April and November 2006, Priestly and Michelle Cartier were moved from 20 On 20 to XM Hitlist, retaining their time slots. In November they were moved back to 20 On 20 as part of the channel's relaunch. They were subsequently replaced by other DJs on The Hitlist.
