Cowboy Channel

We lost access to the Cowboy Channel.  Comcast says we have it, the Cowboy Channel notes we do not.  Would really like this corrected.  We had access before 1/1/2026

@user_wdznlo, thanks for that extra information. If you use the voice feature on the remote and say "cowboy channel", let me know if it goes to another channel. It is possible that the channel moved.

We tried the voice remote several times.  No luck.  It keeps taking us to the same channel.  So frustrating

Which channel number are you looking at? 1073? 1656? 1239? @user_wdznlo

Thank you for that information @user_wdznlo to confirm that is the channel you see on the website https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/id11-channel-lineup for your channel line up? What happens when you type the channel into your TV?

Yes it is listed and when I click to watch, notes the same thing, no longer available on this channel.  I’ve retried all the suggestions in our messaging.

I have had the same problem. I even reached out to the Cowboy Channel and Teton Ridge (the channel owner) and got no response. Comcast shows the channels (297 and 1239) that were formerly where I watched the network. When you go to those channels I mentioned, there is a pink screen that reads,  " The leased access programmer seen on this channel has decided not to continue airing. I would appreciate clarification on this issue.

@nmvp​ I believe Cowboy channel and xfinity can’t seem to work out a pricing agreement still so until that happens the screen will just display that it’s no longer broadcasting or something along those line. Stinks they can’t figure it out. Really wish they would hurry it up but who knows when that will be. Would be nice if xfinity could provide an update

I agree. I'm almost at the point where I'm going to dump my cable and go completely streaming, although the Cowboy Channel app is almost unwatchable on my TV because of buffering.

@user_l1la0u wrote: What channel is cowboy channel on Xfinity 

In my area (South-Central PA) it was on Phil McGraw's "Main Street Media" channel, but since the beginning of the year the only "content" on that channel has been a slide that reads:

Starting 1/1/26 the Cowboy Channel will no longer be airing on this channel. 

Merit Street Media entered Chapter 7 bankruptcy late last year, although how exactly that affected the Cowboy Channel I do not know.

We have lost the Cowboy channel as well.  We were watching it just last night March 3, 2026.  Today nothing the guide does not list it and punching in the # just says "No Result".  What's up Xfinity???  No information at all.

@user_fcgmzf​ Same result here. Channel 1073 is gone and all of our scheduled recordings have been deleted and cleared from queue. Not even worth having Xfinity if I have to pay $100's of dollars a month to gain access to the channels I actually watch.

We had it last night and it’s gone today with no explanation. Tried calling Xfinity and got nowhere. Looking into other options since it’s one of the only channels we actually watch.
