SiriusXM/Sirius/XM started up some of their Christmas channels I'm pretty sure right after Halloween. Don't you guys think that's way too early? Christmas music should not start until around after Thanksgiving or the start of December. SiriusXM sound quality really sucks too.

It was always that way for decades until these corporations asked for holiday greed under the tree.
FYI the Sirius Christmas channels are commercial free. No holiday greed. Just holiday cheer.
Did they flip existing channels or simply activate a "new" channel? If the latter there's no reason to complain, just keep listening to your favorite channels.
One of them is replacing the channel known as "Love" -- which has a softish AC/pop classic hits format. A good number of the songs regularly played on that channel aren't played anywhere else on the service. The other is on "Spotlight," Channel 4, which is usually sold to labels to hype artists who have new albums coming out or tours starting.
Come December, for a few weeks each, a couple of channels will be pre-empted for "holiday" music. No '60s and '70s soul on Soul Town, only Christmas music. No '80s and '90s country on Prime Country, only Christmas music. Some of the "missing" soul hits are also played on their appropriate decades channels, but fans of that period in R&B are out of luck if they want to hear a full playlist of soul hits on a dedicated channel. They're better off than the fans of '80s and '90s country, though, whose favorite music goes into hibernation while Garth, Trisha, George, Reba, etc. sing only of snow, Santa and occasionally a child in a manger.
I'm pretty sure they switched Venus channel 3 to Holly since Venus is no where to be found.
