Channel 7 Boston broadcasting as CNN

I tuned into channel 7 WHDH Boston this morning, and CNN is broadcasting.
I thought it might be a glitchy issue with my upstairs secondary box, but when I came down to my primary box, it was the same thing.  I tried putting in the numbers in for the channel, talking into remote, and even doing the arrow buttons up and down. CNN! Which by is also broadcasting on its normal channel. So frustrating!!
Why is the wrong channel broadcasting on another channel? 
BTW all my other channels are fine and box is otherwise working fine.

Greetings, @Laneyny! I hope your week has been treating you well. Thanks so much for taking a moment out of your busy day to leave a post on our community forum about this programming issue. I'm not aware of any lineup changes in the Boston area. The local programmers may have needed to temporarily replace the regular WHDH feed with something else in order to avoid having dead air or a blank channel. Please let us know if this continues to be an issue.

Just happened to us today at 6:20pm on July 2nd. This also happened to us a few days ago at our primary residence and our town’s locally run cable service, so it’s not just with Xfinity.
