The Loft is an online and application-based music channel on Sirius XM Radio featuring an alternative eclectic format of an adult music album, sometimes branched into more free music and talk programs.
Until November 12, 2008, he broadcast an acoustic rock format. The Loft then changed the format to what sounded like the SIRIUS Disorder and Fine Tuning stations that were currently dying at the time, with his brother's channel, The Coffee House, adopting a rock acoustic format. Mike Marrone is the director of the live broadcast and channel program until he retires in December 2017. He was replaced by Chris Muckley, who regularly heard with DJs like Franny Thomas and Meg Griffin.
In 2018, The Loft transitioned to a fully online XM presence, as the previous channel is now used for a limited engagement theme channel focused on certain artists, such as The Eagles and Billy Joel.
