When will ION be back?

That would be great, what information do you need?

We're in zip code 34240. It only appears now as a "subscribe" channel; it used to be on 1-2 channels (223 was one) as a no-charge channel part of our Xfinity plan. I still have one episode recorded and receive the following when trying to play it.

Thank you, to pull up your account we do ask that you send us a direct message with your full name and service address. We can return here once completed to update our community on what we worked on. 

To send a direct message: 

• Make sure you are signed in here in the Xfinity Forum. Click "Sign In" if necessary

• Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
• Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list which appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line
• Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
• Press Enter to send it

I provided the requested information. Is there an update?

Thank you for reaching out today @user_ocjhw0. Xfinity previously carried the ION channel, but lost the right to broadcast it on September 30, 2025, due to an expired agreement with the station's owner.

Same channel, timing dots. I’m with Xfinity in the 60002 zip code. If there’s no longer a contract are you trying to get it back?

You can get it through Peacock.  I used the voice command on the remote.  Asked for ION.  It took me to Peacock.  It worked.

Peacock is not available on xfinity where I'm located, The series I'm interested in is now available either at a cost per show/season on xfinity, or on Amazon Prime with a subscription. It used to be included in our xfinity package.
