I understand, and thank you for submitting your feedback to us. I am sure we will get this network on Comcast sooner than later. Please continue to check their website and back with us for more information on when this channel will become available.

I already inquired about the channel here:
http://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Customer-Service/Hallmark-Drama-Channel/td-p/2958355
The channel must be requested. The website is now live at hallmarkdrama.com
The channel finder has yet to provide any info so it might be a while beore the channel is added?
Presently, Nothing's been announced or if Comcast (or any other company) is carrying it yet.

Someone? Anyone? I want to know this too!
At this time Comcast doesn't have an agreement with Hallmark to broadcast this new channel. Actually, not very many companies have an agreement with Crown Media to broadcast it. No ETA on when Comcast will add it.

Presently no, there have been no announcements made. I don't think any carrier has made any type of announcements.

Is Hallmark Drama Channel going to be added to the XFinity channel lineup?
At this time Comcast doesn't have an agreement with Hallmark/Crown Media to broadcast this new channel. Actually, not very many companies have an agreement with Crown Media to broadcast it. No ETA on when Comcast will add it. And Crown Media isn't announcing who will be able to broadcast this network. You would think with all of the interest they would have reached out to companies to broadcast this new channel, but apparently they are still considering their options.

I was told today that Hallmark Drama channel is only being seen online, but yet it shows channel 185 as Drama but its showing exactly whats on regular Hallmark. So after getting off phone I got on my tablet and it will not let me download channel, in my searches I saw that it is on Spectrum so why not on Comcast?....and why add channel if your not going to show it?
Spectrum does not have Hallmark Drama at this time.

At this time Comcast has no agreement with Crown Media to carry HDC. As a matter of fact, few cable providers have a carriage agreement. Crown Media isn't sure what they really want to do with this channel.

Hi 040 and plpalmer1 -- Thank you for your interest in this channel. Hallmark has said that they have not made plans, or at least have not announced them, to have this channel available for live TV viewing. That said, I have made a channel request for each of you for this channel. Channel requests do not guarantee the channel will be added but it does help us gauge interest and helps us with negotiations should Hallmark want to make this channel available for live TV.
