By fall 2010, Sirius XM moved Jam On to channel 81 on the Sirius side to make room for Pearl Jam Radio on channel 17. However, Sirius tuners still list channel 81 under the old Cinemagic name, although from 2009–2010, that was The Strobe on Sirius 81.

The logo is designed to resemble that of jam band Phish.

The internet version can be biased toward "traditional" songs similar to the roots rock style of the Grateful Dead, or to "modern" songs which are more electronically-based and experimental.

In June 2019, SiriusXM announced it would be moving JamOn to from Channel 29 to Channel 309 to make way for Phish Radio.

Core artists

Dave Matthews Band Radio

Between 2009-06-01 and 2009-06-08, the channel featured the music of rock band Dave Matthews Band 24/7 as well as exclusive interviews. This temporarily pre-empted normal programming on the channel.[1]
