Just lost ABC on my Xfinity. Is that just local to me? Anyone else? They said contract expired.

Might just be local. I’m on ABC right now and I have Xfinity.

That’s not right, I have YouTubeTV. Xfinity is just my Internet. Sorry, didn’t know how to delete prior post.

Yes, for Colorado we lose ABC. For other states they are losing other channels. SO frustrating. They need to get this figured out. I need to call them anyways as my last "deal" just expired. I'm sure they are getting a lot of angry calls.

Looks like a lot of affiliates are being affected. (not my area) If I understood correctly (I may not have), one report said it's because Scripps(?) wants to raise the price because of the "free" sports we see on ABC and ESPN. Xfinity doesn't want to pay it.

Kar,
I have a little digital TV in my computer room that I half-pay-attention to, so it has no Xfinity box to pay for. I connected rabbit ears to the TV and I watch ABC talk shows while at my computer...it also gets Fox,CBS,NBC, all the basic network OTA shows.
The only drawback are commercials. I can't skip them or FF like I can on my TIVO in the living room.
A lot of the other channels have stuff like Soup marathons, other sitcoms, marathon L&O shows and game shows, etc. All for free.
If you can connect rabbit ears to your digital TV, you can still watch ABC.

Sometimes it’s nice just having antenna tv.

Unfortunately, where I live in the foothills of Colorado, antennas don't work. 
If it goes on for long, I may sign up for a free trial of something to get me thru until they figure it out.

Kar, I’m just lucky to live in an area of Portland that has numerous antenna tv channels. Otherwise, I’d be on cable too.

After I turned on my living room TV yesterday I saw that ABC was on as usual.

yeah, as long as you aren't getting them thru Xfinity, you'll be fine. But rabbit ears don't work here.
I'll give it a week and see if they settle.

My living room room TV is hooked up to xfinity, so I guess for some reason SF isn't part of the issue.
I googled this phrase: subscribe to ABC network online
It came up with a lot of links but I didn't go through them for details. Maybe there's something that can help you out.

It depends on where you live and if Scripps owns any channels in your area. In Denver it's ABC. But places like Kansas City it's NBC. Nashville it's CBS. They really need to figure this out. I just talked to comcast to see how much my internet would be if I dropped cable. I have been a comcast customer for 35 years. That may end!

As much as I like "Doc", that finale was way over the top. 
And I enjoyed every minute. LOL

I'm catching up with Best Medicine. I think I have 2 episodes left to watch.
It's gotten better as the season goes. And I love the fact that Martin Clunes played his father. He played the original Doc, in the English version, that this series is based on. It was a nice surprise.

Can anybody figure this out?
I was looking up something about the old tv show "The Bob Newhart Show", and in a discussion, someone mentioned 2 other shows only by acronyms and the name of one character. Can you figure out what shows they are talking about?
1. Rachel from HoA
2. Emma from TQ.
Thanks!

House of Anubis - but I can't see a character named Rachel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_programs:_H
Twenty Questions, there are several shows with this name, but the same problem, I don't see an Emma.
So I'm no help, sorry!

Thanks Kitt!
eta: oh, maybe this will help. These characters are known as Bs. Rhymes with witch.
I was looking up whether anybody else thought Emily on Bob Newhart was a B, and they do, and the conversation lead to other shows with Bs.
