Sirius XM Love[1] is a music channel that plays love songs from soft-AC artists and airs on Sirius XM Radio, and Dish Network. It airs on channel 70 on Sirius XM Radio. On XM, it replaced former channel The Heart on November 12, 2008. On Sirius XM Canada, the channel retained the old Sirius Love name, Until February 9, 2010, Sirius XM Love was on DirecTV channel 819, but all of the Sirius XM programming was dropped in favor of Sonic Tap.

From 2009-2014, Sirius XM Love was pre-empted annually during the Christmas season and replaced with "Holly," a seasonal format devoted to contemporary pop Christmas music. This format change typically occurred during the first two weeks of November and continued until the end of the year. (Holly is also available year-round through Sirius XM's online service.) From 2015-2016, Holly pre-empted Sirius XM's Velvet instead, allowing Sirius XM Love to retain its normal format through December, In 2016, Holly will once again pre-empt SiriusXM Love.

On May 22, 2015, Sirius XM Love became a limited-run James Taylor Channel. Later, it was the home of Yacht Rock.[2][3]

On August 17, 2017, SiriusXM Love moved to channel 70 and was replaced by PopRocks on Channel 17.[4]
