SquiZZ is a heavy rock channel on XM Satellite Radio. It is located at XM 48. It is an xL channel, which means it includes explicit language. The number to call in for requests is 1-866-6SQUIZZ.

Squizz is more similar to traditional radio stations in comparison to most other XM channels as the DJs are more involved. They participate more and try to interact with their listeners. The DJs even have their own MySpace accounts and so does the channel. (Link can be found at bottom of page)

As of 2006, Squizz has adjusted its musical format from hard rock, pop-punk, screamo, and metal to just modern rock music in general. The channel still has its hard rock, which it was originally intended, but many people, most noticeable by the "scene" stereotypes, (punk, goth, and emo) had spotted everything from 90's classic rock to Christian rock.

On September 7th, 2006, Bodhi was named Program Director of SquiZZ.
