Caliente is the name of an Sirius XM Radio's Tropical music channel, and is Sirius XM's only Spanish music channel. It is available on 150 (previously channel 83 on Sirius, where it replaced Rumbon on November 12, 2008), and previously channel 85 on XM) and on Dish Network channel 6083. Until February 9, 2010, it was heard on Direct TVchannel 872, but all of the Sirius XM music channels were dropped in favor of SonicTap. Prior to the Sirius/XM merger, Caliente was on XM channel 94. The channel has three live personalities, Laura Stylez, Johnny "El Picoso", and Bryant Pino. Latin Pop and Regional Mexican music is now played on Caliente after XM Viva and XM Agulia retired in the SIRIUS XM merger.

This channel was programmed by Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation until it merged with Univision Radio in 2002. Univision Radio programmed the channel until 2004 channel production turned in-house. XM returned the channel to the satellites on 2004-08-02.
