An important update on your channel lineup

Our contract with E.W. Scripps Company has expired, and despite our best efforts, we have not been able to reach a new agreement. They’re making demands that would significantly increase what our customers pay for TV service, and we don’t want that to happen. Unfortunately, this means some of your local channels and On Demand content may currently be unavailable through Xfinity.


Thanks for your patience as we work to keep your TV package affordable.

Why programming changes happen
We pay other media companies, like TV station owners and operators, networks, and streaming companies, to bring their content to you. We negotiate regularly for top programming at affordable prices. When an agreement with a programmer ends and we cannot reach a new agreement that’s fair for our customers, it can mean that their content is no longer available through Xfinity.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I continue to watch similar programming?
Similar content will remain available through your other local broadcast stations and streaming options. Just say “Explore my options” into your Voice Remote. You can also visit your local news station's website to see if they stream broadcasts online for free.
Will I also lose access to On Demand content that is associated with the impacted channels?
Yes, the On Demand content associated with your impacted channels is also unavailable.
Can I still access content through the websites and streaming apps of the impacted networks?  
No, you will no longer be able to access content that is owned or controlled by the impacted network through websites or streaming apps that require you to login with your Xfinity credentials. 
What will happen to my scheduled DVR recordings?
You can still watch anything that you previously recorded. However, you won’t be able to record anything new from the impacted channels while they are unavailable. If the channels are restored, your settings will be preserved, and recordings will resume. 
If you do not reach a new agreement, will I receive a credit?  
Xfinity members who pay a Broadcast TV fee and have lost access to a broadcast network will automatically receive a bill credit. They should see this credit in their account by May 1.
