NewsNation

Comcast indicates that they carry NewsNation on Channel 1420, but 1420 does not come up on my cable box. It goes from 1418 to 1421, skipping 1419 and 1420.  What's going on?

NewsNation is an IP channel.  You need to be on the X1 platform in order to get it.  Do you have an X1 box?

I just saw the ticker on NewsNation while watching Blue Bloods. That NewsNation is being removed from Comcast. I hope that this is not true. I watch TV about 4 hours a night and three of those hours are NewsNation. I already pay almost $200.Mo for my cable and if this is going to happen, I will change carriers for my internet and cable. Comcast has been taking more and more channels and putting them into the "pay extra" categories and I am getting sick of it. I have been a loyal Comcast customer for around 20 years and I am beginning to be quite disgruntled with Comcast. This would be the straw which broke the camels' back.

I thought I saw the same ticker announcement. I was just going to send my disappointment to Comcast. Hopefully someone will respond to this post 12/10/2022

It might depend on where we live. We still have it on channel 810 (linear cable) in Minnesota. I don't happen to watch it.

NewsNation is on channel 12 in the Pittsburgh area and we are getting this message. NewsNation is one of the best channels on our lineup if it's taken away I will have to rethink if I'm going to keep may TV service with Comcast. Keep NewsNation.

@user_baf4bb​  Wouldn't it be nice if what we liked (and pay for) mattered.

NewsNation is on 1420 in my area.  I saw the ticker yesterday and as of today, channel 1420 is no longer.  Why have you removed it?

Bring back news Nation, and Sundance. Stop removing channels I pay for. I can't wait until FIOS is available at my address so I can dump you people.

News Nation is about 60% of my TV time. If Comcast takes it away I will remove Comcast as my cable provider. I pay close to $200 for my monthly basic cable and internet bill and am quite sure I can get a much better deal somewhere else. I have been with Comcast for over 20 years and their service is getting worse all the time.

I will cancel my service if they remove News Nation I am done with these guys. I have been wanting to cancel for years and this is the feather for me. 

Someone is upset that people (from both sides of the isle) have the opportunity to hear real debates and news that is as close to unbias as you can get these days.

Don’t be fooled by all the warnings on your coverage by Fox and NewsNation.  This is a contract ploy by parent companies and our charges might actually go up if Comcast agrees to contract changes.   We don’t have details of the contracts and the viewers are being used as pawns by the owners of local stations.
