[DKE2]

What happened to METV? We watch it every day.

There are multiple posts about this. MeTV is a broadcast network carried by a local TV station. Comcast just passes on what is broadcast. The local station made some changes and apparently dropped MeTV.

andyross,

which local channel dropped it?

I have no idea where this 196 is. Nobody has posted what station it originally was.

Again, the other carriers are able to provide the station so why isn’t Xfinity/Comcast doing the same? If this many are bothering to comment, it’s obvious there are significantly many more viewers who don’t post that want the station back. Customer satisfaction is priority one.

Can't speak for your market.

In my market MeTV is carried on a 'sub channel' of the NBC affiliate.  In my travels I have found it being a 'sub channel' for a CBS, FOX and ABC affiliates.

If you watch whatever MeTV station long enough - the owner station will put some of their own programming on the channel, overriding the MeTV content.

Locally, the parent station puts its News on MeTV at 10 PM - it's regular newscast is 11 PM.
