Programming changes occur when contracts between Comcast and media companies expire. Comcast negotiates these contracts to carry various channels, and if an agreement cannot be reached, the channels may no longer be available, including associated on-demand content and multicast signals. Comcast has a history of successfully renewing contracts without service interruptions. Customers are notified at least 30 days in advance of any changes, and updates regarding channel status are provided on a dedicated website.

We regularly reevaluate programming. At this time I would be unable to speak on when we may or may not carry a channel. We do provide channel updates on our billing statements.

user_9rxtnz Thank you for reaching out to our Xfinity Forums Team about the loss of channels owned by E. W. Scripps. This programming is currently unavailable as Comcast’s agreement with the network has expired. Please know Comcast pays programmers to bring you the entertainment you love, and a number of reasonable offers have been made that they haven’t accepted. Comcast is working toward bringing back this programming, but only with fair pricing, terms, and conditions for customers. I know unexpected changes to your TV lineup can be frustrating, and I apologize for any inconvenience. For more information, visit https://www.xfinity.com/programmingchanges.

Is there not another NBC affiliate besides WPTV that you can bring to us so we can have a live NBC station?  Doesn't Comcast own NBC???

It is quite ridiculous considering the amount of our monthly bills that you cannot accommodate us better.

Hi, @user_cnjy3t. The area affiliate must be on board with an agreement for a network to be carried in said area. We don't have any news at this time to share on any additions or changes. I apologize for the inconvenience while we look for a fair deal.
