You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''The Pulse''' is a [[Sirius XM Radio]] station that plays music from the 2010s to present-day on channel 5 and [[Dish Network]] channel 6005.  Every half-hour The Pulse's Jim Ryan or Ron Ross reviews music news on tours, future albums, and other topics covered.

[[File:XM Flight 26.JPG|thumb|left|Logo as '''Flight 26'''.]]

The channel debuted on [[XM Satellite Radio]] channel 26 and [[DirecTV]] channel 818 on April 17, [[2006 in radio|2006]] as '''Flight 26''' in response to demands by former shareholder [[Clear Channel Communications]] (who owns the similarly formatted [[Mix (XM)|Mix]] on channel 22), and was programmed by [[New York City]] native Mike Abrams. XM agreed that Clear Channel Communications can add commercials to channels which it already provides programming to, such as [[KISS-XM|KISS]], Sunny, and Mix.  In response, XM changed their slogan from "100% commercial-free music" to "the most commercial-free music channels on satellite radio".<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/apr2006/tc20060413_150389.htm?campaign_id=rss_tech |title=Coming Soon to XM: More Commercials |accessdate=2007-06-22 |author=Kharif, Olga |date=2006-04-13 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071205023927/http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/apr2006/tc20060413_150389.htm?campaign_id=rss_tech |url-status=dead |archivedate=2007-12-05))</ref>  In the United States, the newly commercialized channels were moved, whereas they were deleted outright from [[XM Canada]].  XM described Flight 26 as "Modern Hits of the 90s & Now," although since it leaned toward [[Hot AC]], the station played no urban music. The music was targeted for the younger adult group, especially for those who were age 16 or older,  and the station played music from such artists as [[John Mayer]], [[Jack Johnson (musician)|Jack Johnson]], [[Green Day]], [[The Fray]], [[Avril Lavigne]], [[Uncle Kracker]], [[Lisa Loeb]], [[P!nk]], [[Colbie Caillat]], [[Counting Crows]], and [[Nickelback]].  During its tenure as '''Flight 26''', it was XM's second-most-listened-to channel after [[Top 20 on 20]].

On November 12, 2008, during the consolidation of XM and Sirius programming, Flight 26 took The Pulse branding that lived on [[The Pulse (Sirius)|Sirius channel 9]], which aired a [[1990s in music|1990s]]/[[hot AC]] hybrid, and that channel number is now [[The 90s on 9]]. Also, the new Pulse was added to channel 12 on [[Sirius Satellite Radio]].  As a result, the old Pulse ceased operations due to the fact for the old Pulse ranked #9 in the Sirius ratings, and Flight 26 had higher ratings than the old Pulse. A number of Flight 26 on-air personalities joined The Pulse and continue broadcasting under The Pulse branding. [[The Bridge (Sirius XM)|The Bridge]] (which became [[Led Zeppelin Radio]] for two months) forced its move from channel 12 to channel 33 (replacing [[SIRIUS Disorder]]).  However, Mediabase reports The Pulse's playlist under X026-FM rather than S012-FM.

The Pulse's imaging was changed to the same voiceover as the old Flight 26 branding rather than carry the old jingles from the old Sirius 9 channel.

Most recently, to encounter sister channel [[The Blend (Sirius XM)|The Blend's]] overhaul in September [[2009 in radio|2009]], The Pulse dropped most of the [[1990s in music|1990s]] songs that can already be heard on sister channel [['90s on 9]].  The slogan was also changed to "2000s and today."

Every weekend, The Pulse counts down their top 15 current songs as well as the top 15 Pulse songs that week anywhere from 2010 to 2019. Pat Monahan, lead singer of the band Train, also hosts a weekend show, an hour long of new music discovery songs picked by Pat himself.

After the launch of [[PopRocks]], The Pulse further narrowed its playlist dropping most 2000s songs focusing on currents minus the rap playing a more adult top 40 approach focusing on current hits on the mainstream and hot [[adult contemporary]] music mixed with hits from 2010 to today. In early 2018, the Pulse renamed their weekend countdown to "Today's Pulse Top 15", which was formerly known as "2000s and Today Top 15 Countdown". This was due to the fact that the station now focused more on 2010s music.

On November 5, 2021, The Pulse moved from channel 15 to channel 5, replacing '50s on 5. Mosaic took over The Pulse's former slot.
