Create TV Being Removed From Lineup

I was watching Create TV and a banner appeared at the bottom of the screen saying it will be removed from the lineup on January 1st. Is this something that was Comcast's decision? If so, I would very much like the network to stay.

I am so disappointed.  I only keep Comcast because of Create TV.  So very disappointed.

(of course I can only read one line of banner message……the second line is not visible on my screen…..maybe they are only changing the channel number?)

Hello user_zbgo0k thank you so much for taking the time to reach us here via our Xfinity Forums, and for adding your voice to the conversation! This channel change occurred because the local carrier is no longer able to continue broadcasting,  unfortunately there's not much we can do on our end. We do regularly review all channel programming options, and will always strive to provide channel options that can fit any household.

Create TV is one of the few channels that is commercial free, with high quality programs.  We are Very disappointed with Comcast, and are going to look elsewhere.

Add me to the list of angry customers. Create is literally TV comfort food. How much more greedy can Comcast get?

@user_w50ftf Thanks for adding a post to the community. The local affiliate station is no longer carrying it, meaning we'll lose access to it as well as our customers that love and enjoy the content. We hope they add it to another channel at least, or have it back soon.

Unfortunately, this is a move made by WLVT as result of funding cuts.  This is part of an e-mail i received:

Sadly, I have the unpleasant job of sharing that the Create and WORLD channels will be removed from our program line-up as of January 1, 2026. There are a few factors at play, but funding is most certainly the largest. The channel should still be available through other carriers / PBS stations. Local listings can be found on their websites: https://www.CreateTV.com and https://WorldChannel.org
Thank you again for your support and viewership. My apologies for the sad news.
With thanks,
Darice

Add me to the list of angry customers.  We pay far too much for too many nonsense channels.  Create TV is one of the good ones and Xfinity should find a way to keep it in the lineup.
