What happened to Catchy Comedy

No more Catchy Comedy?  Why did you drop a free channel, while you keep increasing our rates.  You can't even lock in a cheaper price for a year.  No wonder subscribership is down.

I've been trying to figure out all day what happened.  I have a senior in the house that watches this a lot.  Can we get an explanation?

They've dropped Catchy Comedy along with H&I. There was a tiny notice about it on the bottom of May's bill statement PDF. 

You'll either need an antenna capable of getting VHF signals since Catchy Comedy is on digital VHF Channel 7.7; some indoor antennas are UHF only and won't be able to receive the signal, or a subscription to the Philo or Frndly streaming services to watch Catchy Comedy now. Sling, HuluLive, Youtube TV, DirecTV Stream, Xfinity NOW TV, and Fubo don't have it.

Thanks for the update.  I guess I should pay more attention to my bill instead of just feeding the machine that is Xfinity.  I like their services, but don't like much about the company itself, so I just pay them & try to act like they don't exist.

For me, they dropped my most loved station, Antenna TV.  It changed to Nosey just yesterday, as I was watching a program on Antenna TV.  Just poof, gone.  Then Nosey channel appeared from nowhere with whole new lineup.

I want to know what happened to my Antenna TV channel.  

I still have both Catchy and H&I but don't watch them as much.  

I'm lost without the programs I loved on Antenna TV which I can't find anywhere else. Anyone have any answers?  

I am on Xfinity cable service through the middle tier.  

This sucks!  Bring back Antenna TV please.

Senior Account Holder used to watch this Channel (Catchy Comedy) alot, While i told her that it said on May's bill it would be gone by June 25th countless times.     Still wasn't happy when tried to tune to it on the 25th and discovered it was totally gone.      

Why drop a Free Channel that Seniors liked?     

Surely it shouldn't costed too much to broadcast it along with the other channels

Hopefully they keep MeTV for a long while 

Other Cable TV provider in area uses Youtube TV for there Television product, and if they had Channel Account Holder liked, we'd probably be switching, but since they don't--Guess we'll stay put with Xfinity at this point

@bikeman017​ Thank You for saying this!!  As a caregiver, I see so many things that are designed to work against seniors.  Looks like Xfinity is the same way.  I would imagine that cable services are held by a lot of seniors who don't want to figure out how to stream.  I think this is very shady on the part of Xfinity.

Bring back Catchy, formerly Decades!  Bring more channels like them.  I am getting sick and tired of paying huge fees for Xfinity’s service.  You should be able to pick more what you want to watch. These various tiers are not fair.  Seems like the one or two you watch end up in the next tier, so you pay more.  You end up paying for many, many channels you don’t even watch!  I’m thinking of looking at other options.  The cost is getting ridiculous.

We are senior account holders. Been with Comcast/ Xfinity for over 30 years. Now you have removed two of mine & my husbands favorite channels. Catchy Comedy & H and I. Still shows on the guide. As much as we pay a month for cable & internet and can't see a favorite any longer. Hoping that the company will rethink  their decision to drop these channels and bring them back. My husband is wanting to drop Xfinity now.

What area are you in?  I still get Catchy through a subchannel in Chicago.  It’s possible it’s not Comcast who dropped the channel, but that the channel in your area no longer carries it.
