Y2Kountry[1] is a hits-oriented country radio channel on Sirius XM Radio 57 and Dish Network 605, which centers on the 2000s and the 2010s (2000-2019). The channel is also available through the Sirius XM internet service, and through its app through iPad, iPhone and Android devices. Y2Kountry debuted on July 17, 2014 , originally, as a country channel centered on the late 1990s, the 2000s, and the early 2010s (1997-2012). It pre-empted former Sirius XM Pops and Sirius XM's sister channel The Highway.[2]
Trace Adkins was the original host of a weekend countdown called Throwback 30, counting down the 30 country hits of the 2000s and 2010s. Since 2023, however, the Throwback 30 has been hosted by Danielle Peck. Peck also has her own show on weekday drivetime. Buzz Brainard is a host in the mornings, called Mornings with Buzz. Al Skop has a weekday show during the late morning to early afternoon.
