Thumbs down Love getting booted again.

On December 21, SIRIUS XM Love will become Radio Hanukkah through the end of the year. After that, SIRIUS XM Love will return to Ch. 3
As much as I disagree with this, I jumped over to XM's site. It's no mention of any channels getting replaced over there. If Sirius Love continues on XM while Sirius listeners are stuck with Christmas music, then this is just a slap to the face.

Since when is Radio Hanukkah “Christmas Music”? And it’s only for the eight days of Hanukkah, not till the end of the year as the OP stated. I mean, the Christians get three or four channels for over a month for their holiday music, and we Jews only get eight days. Would you rather they reduce the bandwidth on all the channels to fit these in? Now what are you complaining about again?

At least it's not for 3 months, 6 months, or a year.

Btw, Sirius XM Love is vastly improved since the merger, in my opinion. It seems like they have picked up some of the slack from the loss of Movin' EZ.

I was sort of thinking they were picking up more songs from Starlite more than Moving EZ. But you are correct it has greatly improved.

I knew well in advance that Radio Hanukkah was coming this year and as kc1ih said, it's only going to be up for about a week. I have to wait until the end of January for my beloved Bridge, I'm sure you can wait until the end of Hanukkah for your Sirius Love.

I am kind of excited to hear radio Hanukkah. We've never had it before, so its kind of exciting.

I hear it’s primarily not religious, but has a lot to do with Jewish culture, and that a lot of gentiles (non-Jews) enjoy the channel too. I haven’t heard it either, and am looking forward to doing so.

I was just thinking the same thing this morning. I was actually going to post here that it's become eerily reminiscent of Movin' EZ, so much so that I really don't miss the station nearly as much anymore. The only thing that's missing is that sing song, "Movin' Eeee Zeee" ID at times. Other than that, it looks like Movin' EZ did wind up surviving the merger to some extent.

I can go without the station for 8 days though. That's not bad. Great channel though.

I kinda miss the old Love. That was in the my top 5 channels. I'm still kind of sore that none of the artist seeks work on that channel.

and I'm not hating on the holiday or whatever. I'm trying to figure out if this is a Sirius only thing and XM continues to get Love. Still nothing mentioned on XM's site, but I wouldn't really trust XM's webmaster

XM had the Hanukkah channel last year. Not too bad, IMHO.

The Blend/Love combo has been getting a lot of listening time from me. I have found myself not missing Moving Easy. Excellent job.
