The station is one of the Scripps stations that Comcast/Xfinity lost the rights to carry. See https://www.xfinity.com/facts.

If I have to choose between WPTV and Comcast you honestly think I would choose comcast? Get it back, this is getting very old--any reason to have cable is slipping if you make me buy an antenna.

user_1y1kh6, hello there and thanks for reaching out. I can only imagine how important that is for you. Since we are public, WPTV (NBC) and other Scripps-owned stations are currently unavailable on Xfinity in South Florida following a carriage agreement dispute that expired on March 31, 2026. This blackout affects access to local news and NBC programming for many Xfinity customers, with no immediate resolution announced. I know this isn't the news we'd like to hear, but I will be optimistic that something will sort this out in the future.
