[Content] Comcast forced to move Bloomberg TV

quote:
FCC Tells Comcast To Put Bloomberg With The Rest Of The News Stations
»consumerist.com/2013/09/ ··· tations/

For reference, by me (NW Chicago Suburbs):
40/216=CNN
41=CLTV (local Chicago news)
45/318=HLN
63/266=CNBC
64/317=MSNBC
66/265=Fox News
103=RT (technically, it's a Comcast Leased channel, with horrible A/V sync.)
106/264=Fox Business
107=Al-Jazeera America
128=Bloomberg
154=BBC World News

One reason Bloomberg is on a higher number (at least for SD), is that it was never in analog. It was always digital-only.

Re: Comcast forced to move Bloomberg TV

32/817 cnn (digital starter)
33/816 headline news (digital starter)
34/820 fox news (digital starter)
183/818 msnbc (digital starter)
178/ 1116 bloomberg (digital starter)
104/821 fox business ( digital preferred)
107 Al-Jazeera America
108 BBC World news

Would they have to move msnbc also?

edit: Bloomberg hd not on channel card but on box

It was odd here in the Danbury, Ridgefield, Bethel franchise area earlier this year regarding Bloomberg.

Comcast released a channel line-up guide showing that Comcast was adding Bloomberg HD.

But it never seemed to materialize.

I wonder if the angst of this disagreement caused Comcast to drop their plans to carry Bloomberg TV in HD (with Comcast acting like a spoiled 2 year old who doesn't get his way...) After the recent comments of Mr. Roberts, it wouldn't surprise me.

As of yesterday, Bloomberg TV (ch 128) has been dropped from my Comcast feed. Not sure if that's because they are moving it or because that's their response to the Bloomberg suit and the FCC. I suspect the latter.

Are you sure it didn't move? Here in the Chicago area, it moved to channel 102. The shopping channel that was there moved to 111.

You're right. Thanks!

(This doesn't seem to comply with the FCC mandate though. The SD news channels here run from 54-59).

Oh well.

It is amongst some of the Comcast access channels and CSPAN, so I guess it may still be considered OK.

Check your FULL bill within the past month or so. That is where I found out about it, and noted it on a list of channels I keep.

well maybe it's time to dump most of the old analog range and have fully redone channel map.

Heavy re-arrangement of channels can lead to a customer revolt. I think Comcast would just rather leave the sub-100's alone. Even the scanty information about a so-called 'national' channel lineup only use channels 100+, leaving the lower numbers to be regional.

At least here in the Chicago area, the 100+'s are generally the same everywhere.

You're right, the move was in the latest bill. Since I am on automatic billing, I rarely look past the total. Guess I'll have to start reading the "fine print."

Mine is also automatic, but I always check the bill for changes.

I don't have Comcast anymore because not in Overland Park,ks but I can tell you that Bloomberg is up the other CSPN's/ESPNNEWS in Olathe/Independence. The Star will post Public Notices about TWCKC but not Comcast and can only guess that Mundofox 62.2.E. Rey will be added. Soapnet and GNTV will be gone.
