Sirius XM Love is a music channel that plays love songs from soft-AC artists and airs on Sirius Satellite Radio, XM Satellite Radio, and Dish Network. It airs on channel 17 on both the Sirius and XM services.[1][2] On XM, it replaced former channel The Heart on November 12, 2008. The channel formerly was carried by DirecTV as well but was dropped as of February 9, 2010 in favor of Sonic Tap[3] On Sirius Canada, the channel retains the old Sirius Love name.

Since 2009, Sirius XM Love has been pre-empted annually during the Christmas season and replaced with "Holly," a seasonal format devoted to contemporary pop Christmas music. This format change typically occurs during the first two weeks of November and continues until the end of the year. (Holly is also available year round through Sirius XM's online service.)

Popularity

During the holiday season, the Great Wolf Lodge chain of waterpark resorts will change to Sirius XM Love when it has been switched to Holly for the holiday season and to contribute to their "Snowland" event that takes place at every Great Wolf Lodge every year. It probably changes back to their usual music after December 25 when Snowland is over and Wiley's Winterfest has begun. Many stores and businesses also tune into this channel during the holiday season as well if they subscribe to Sirius XM radio.
