The Joint is a Reggae music channel on XM Satellite Radio channel 42^[1] (previously 86), Sirius channel 42^[2] (previously 84) and on Dish Network channel 6084. Until February 9, 2010, it was available on DirectTV channel 882, but all of the Sirius XM music channels were dropped in favor of SonicTap. XM describes the channel as "Our Foundation Is The Roots" and primarily airs non-mainstream reggae artists. The Joint is one of the few "World" music channels on Sirius XM.

Until September 2008, The Joint was on XM channel 101 before moving to channel 95. On November 12, 2008, the channel replaced Reggae Rhythms, which was on Sirius, and in addition, it moved to its current channel position on the XM side. Mediabase still lists the channel as X101-FM. As of April 2009, The Joint has changed its logo from that which is shown above to the word "Joint" in all capital letters (except for the I) with a red, yellow, and green rainbow behind it. The logo also features a lion to the right of the word "Joint."
