The Beat is a Dance Music radio station on SIRIUS Satellite Radio channel 36 and DISH Network channel 6036.
The Beat offers a hybrid of current-based and mostly remixes of Rhythmic Top 40 and Dance music product, as well as Club classics from the 1990s and early 2000s. All of which is presented in a Top 40-like direction.
Like XM Satellite Radio's BPM, this channel also features guest and house DJs. Also, like XM, the content is delivered commercial-free.
The Beat signed on the same day as Sirius Satellite Radio in 2002. In the fall of 2005, after eliminating several channels to incorporate new ones such as the Howard Stern and Martha Stewart channels, the Beat moved from Channel 66 to Channel 36, along with the other dance-oriented channels (with the exception of Remix, which was eliminated).
