Hi there! We completely understand why you’re asking, especially with ABC being such a popular channel.
At the moment, ABC programming isn’t available through Xfinity due to ongoing negotiations with E. W. Scripps Company.
They’ve declined our current offers and are requesting significantly higher rates, which would directly impact our customers’ monthly bills. Because of that, we haven’t been able to reach an agreement yet.
In the meantime, if you’re looking to continue watching ABC content, you may want to check out streaming options like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, or fuboTV, which often carry ABC depending on your area.
We know this isn’t ideal, and we truly appreciate your patience while this is being worked through. If anything changes, we’ll be sure to keep everyone updated.
Cancel Xfinity and get YouTube tv. That's what we did. I've had it with this situation because it happened before and we have been the victims of this time and time again. See you Xfinity.
Good evening user_lhwt8e. Was there something that we could assist you with? I would be more than happy to help if you do have a concern.
