Ch 70 Hallmark Holiday music

[Pere845]

For starters it's way too early for holiday music, second why does Sirius XM Love get pre-empted the hell out of it? Red-headed step-child much... I'm honestly on the verge of canceling Sirius XM all together as their programming has declined in quality nothing but repetition. Rock the bells makes me want to puke. Give me my backspin back!

Do you have Internet Radio? Try Flower Power Radio for a day and see what you think.

I’m already listening to CHRISTMAS music. And the other stuff I listen to always has new content.

Nothing against the holidays just seems we are starting them earlier and earlier every year.

I’m in the minority. However, I listen to Christmas music anytime I’m in the mood or just want some cheery music year round. Old Fashioned Christmas on accuradio is my go to place until SiriusXM and Music Choice start up. Otherwise 40’s Junction on SiriusXM or Singers and Swing on Music Choice is where I’m at.

Yup.

So it looks like only Hallmark for Christmas music on Dish Network this year? Is Dish the Scrooge or SiriusXM?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

SiriusXM is... as the put the other channels on Special Events channels which DISH does not carry. In the past the holiday channels would take over other existing channels.

SiriusXM put Holly on Channel 4, yet Dish's Sirius Channel 4 hadn't changed over last I looked...was the Dish channel 4 not in sync with Sirius Channel 4 anymore?

 

[david_jr]

Thanks for the explanation Scott. This is the first time I can remember them not being in the Dish package, usually Holly at least.

OK for anyone who like me has been unable to find these channels, some have not launched and only 3 are in the 099 range, but not the number listed on the email. Hallmark radio is on 099-70 as we knew, SXM Holiday Soul is on 099-49 and SXM Country Christmas is on 099-58. All the other channels are not in the 099 range, they are below it at the channel numbers listed in the above screen shot. I found this quite confusing because the announcement says to go to 099 and expand and you will find the channels. Not listed in the announcement I posted, but now on the website is that 3 of the channels have not launched yet. Hope this helps.
