TCM not in Ultimate TV!!!
In the Seattle area, I upgraded from an old package to Ultimate TV. 185+ channels. But I lost TCM! (Turner Classic Movies) What's up with that?!

You may have been in some very old grandfathered plan. TCM is typically in the Sports & Entertainment add-on.

But why is TCM in with all these sports channels like NFL, NFL RedZone, MLB, NBA, ESPNU, NHL, and not in Ultimate TV which has lots of movie channels?!

That is why it is called Sports and ENTERTAINMENT. It has several low-viewership niche cable channels, both sports and entertainment. It's all about money and what it costs Comcast to carry some of them. Cable TV is dying, and as more and more cut the cord, it gets even more expensive as many costs are fixed, but there are fewer subscribers to pay for it. In a current carriage dispute, DirecTV asked if broadcast station owner Tegna would go a-la-carte with their stations, meaning you would pay individually instead of everybody paying. Tegna turned it down as they know customers would flee if they found out that probably local stations could cost $10 or more per month, each.
