In Chicago, TV show starts and stops.

I'm in Chicago, and I'm trying to watch the Amazing Race on Comcast channel 189 (CBS in HD). Unfortunately, the show keeps starting and stopping.
This phenomenon seems to be happening only on channel 189. This phenomenon is not happening on channel 187 (ABC in HD) or on channel 188 (NBC in HD).
What is going on here?

Thank you for reaching out to us about this @FilmFan42.
Since the picture freeze is happening only on channel 189 while your other channels look great, this usually means there is a slight glitch with that specific channel's feed or a loose connection behind the box. If the issue is still occurring, as a quick first step, could you make sure the coaxial cable is screwed in tightly at both the wall and the back of your box, and try giving the box a quick restart by unplugging its power cord for 30 seconds?
