Looking at the list, in addition to the FCC's Significantly Viewed list, it appears none of those TV stations have significantly viewed status in the towns/counties where they are being carried. This means that the in-market TV stations can request the network programming on those stations get blocked, and Comcast would either be required to comply or just outright remove the station.
Not sure if that's what's happening here, but I think this would be the most likely scenario, if anyone else wants to confirm.
