What happened to the CBC in our channel lineup? We used to get the Canadian Broadcast Corportation, but it is no longer in the line up. What happened?!

Welcome to the Xfinity Forum and thank you for posting your question here. If you would like to check which channels are currently included in your channel lineup, you can do so in the TV section of Xfinity app or Xfinity My Account website (https://www.xfinity.com/manage-my-account). If you are concerned about channels that are no longer included in your package, you can review your previous billing statements which will include channel re-alignment/drop information. These bills can also be found on the Xfinity app or Xfinity My Account website. I was able to find some information about the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) availability outside of Canada on the CBC website:
"Can I get CBC programs if I am outside Canada?
If you are outside Canada, you can still connect with the national public broadcaster on different platforms.
You will be able to access Live Streams from Radio One and CBC Music and our CBC Podcasts at cbc.ca/listen and from the CBC Listen App found available in the Google Play and App Stores. You will also be able to stream select on-demand clips from favourite CBC Radio One programs and look up playlogs of CBC Music shows on this site and app.
Additionally, you can find news, sports highlights, and arts programming on the CBC Player.
Fans of The National will also be able to access the live stream for a short period of time after each episode airs on The National's page and YouTube channel.
Due to rights restrictions, you will be unable to access any of the content found on CBC Gem, which includes popular programming such as Heartland, The Nature of Things and Murdoch Mysteries. Please note that CBC does not have information about when or if such programs will be available to international viewers on Netflix or other television networks."
Please let us know if you have any additional questions or comments.

I too had tried to find out why CBC disappeared. I called Comcast and got the same canned response that ComcastJessie gave here, so a non-answer. When I used to have a local Comcast location that I could call or go to, I would have found out the actual answer, bus, alas, that doesn't exist anymore. Luckily, my neighbor is a Comcast tech so I asked him if he knew why the channel is gone. While he didn't know, he said Comcast often takes away channels without telling anyone.
CBC has always been part of our 'local' cable lineup, even back when cable TV was only 10 channels for us. CBC was also the only channel I would watch live. Now it is gone, I have no need for Comcast TV service anymore. So, streaming apps it is instead of Comcast TV.

Not a fake psot. Comcast/Xfinity in the Burlington Vermont area appears to have dropped both CBC French and English services from Montreal some time in the last month.
