Yes, I saw this warning in Crown Point, IN. The station stopped broadcasting on 12/27/23 for approximately 12+ hours and it was back up and broadcasting this morning when I checked at around 10 am. Glad to see it back.

I urge Comcast to continue carrying FETV. I watch Perry Mason and Leave it to Beaver on FETV.

I saw the warning and request to call Comcast last night, 12/28/23 in Corvallis, Oregon. I called the number today, but Comcast corporate closed early for the New Year Holiday and there was no way to leave a message. I guess I will have to try after the holiday, but that may be too late. News items I read today said that Comcast might drop FETV if the contracts can't be resolved by 12/31/23. From what I read, apparently Comcast wants FETV to pay them to keep the channel.

I'm happy to see the continued presence of FETV still broadcasting especially after watching the shows Emergency 51 and Barney Miller tonight. However, I find it unjust for Comcast Xfinity to consider eliminating free channels while raising my monthly bill by an additional $12.00. Out of this amount, $8.00 is allocated for my TV package and broadcasting fees.

Xfinity- Will we see a decrease in our bill as we’ve lost a popular channel?

I just checked and I see the channel has been disconnected.
"This channel is no longer available. - Xfinity"
So, what other channels are we paying for that will be disconnected?

Xfinity is playing hard to get regarding FETV since their Chatbot won’t address the issue and they won’t answer phone calls. Suggest deducting money ($10/month) or dropping them. Cut the cord!

As of today I tried to access fetv here in Illinois, and there's something on the screen that says fetv is no longer available and it's signed xfinity. This was very vicious of them.

Xfinity, bring back FETV! Will may bill be less since you are now offering one less channel? It should be!!! From what I am reading, FETV was a free channel. So why would Xfinity remove it.

Comcast execs have really done it again by removing a family entertainment station, FETV. They raised prices and then removed this favorable station. Why? This station had the most entertaining programs which are better than the newer programs on other stations [even if they are old]. Seems to me that the older shows are better than the newer ones. Anyone agree? Let's get together and have Comcast add FETV back into the lineup.

I received the following from FETV.
It's amazing that they can remove a channel that does not charge them for carriage.
"Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, our channel has been removed from Comcast in the Chicago region, despite the fact that we are free to Comcast. [Edited: "Solicitation"]"
