channel 343, Channel 344

Channel 343 and 344 are no longer there.  These 2 channels were the majority of my daily viewing along with the news.  I can't justify spending so much money on cable TV when basic channels aren't there anymore.  I would bet this has something to do with Comcast not wanting to pay the broadcaster in order to save money. I am looking at my options.  I hope other customers who enjoyed Channel 343 and 344 are doing the same.

Movies! has responded to my email with the following: "Comcast has made some changes in the Seattle area and Movies! and Story Television are not available on Comcast/Xfinity systems at this time."  Just as I presumed, this is the result of a Comcast/Xfinity decision to conserve their own costs in negotiating contracts and continuing to charge customers the same or increased amounts for fewer services.

Got it, user_bt4wtn. You are correct. We sent out a communication about the change on the April/May statements for the areas that were affected. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. You can check out our How it Works resource for additional information on how our agreements with broadcasters can change.

So how can we lobby to get these channels back?  I bet you have a multitude of unhappy customers due to this single decision.
