'70s on 7 (or just The '70s) is a commercial-free, satellite radio channel on the Sirius XM Radio platform. It plays music from the 1970s, mostly hits. As part of the Sirius/XM merger on November 12, 2008, The '70s was merged with Sirius' Totally '70s on Sirius channel 7, XM channel 7 and Dish Network 6007, and took its current name. On February 9, 2010, Direct TV dropped the Sirius XM programming in favor of SonicTap.^[1]

Much like the other decades channels, '70s on 7 attempts to recreate the feel of 1970s radio. It uses similar DJ techniques, jingles, 1970s slang, and news updates. Kid Kelly formerly, of Z-100 New York who is a New York radio icon,^{[citation needed]} programs the channel with Human Numan, a long time contemporary hit radio personality. Creative imaging is produced by the legendary^{[citation needed]} producer Mitch Todd who oversees all producers and production on the music channels and the marketing division. Due to being commercial-free, it does not recreate any sponsor spots. The channel was also used for XM's annual pop music chronology, IT.

The original XM "70s on 7" channel made a strong effort to reproduce the smooth, velvety 1970s FM sound rather than the chatty "morning drive" sound that Sirius favored. After the XM-Sirius merger the "morning drive" sound became the "official" sound of the 1970s channel. The channel features the unique "Jukebox of Dynamite", when an alleged listener selects a "cheesy" song for the segment such as "Seasons In The Sun", "Theme from Billy Jack", "Run Joey Run" or "Billy Don't Be A Hero".

The '70s on 7 is the fourth most listened to station on the XM service, with a cume of 667,400 listeners per week, according to Arbitron analysis.^[2]
