US EditionLost CBS 6 on Comcast? Here's how to keep watching.
The blackout affects major-network affiliates and local news access for millions of subscribers after months of fee talks stalled, analysts said.
- On Wednesday, Comcast Xfinity subscribers lost access to more than 60 Scripps-owned local television stations nationwide after a long-standing carriage agreement expired, affecting primary affiliates for ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC.
- Scripps sought higher compensation to offset rising production costs and industry competition, while Comcast resisted these demands, citing pressure from declining subscriber numbers and its own rising content expenses.
- Households in Baltimore and Tucson reported immediate loss of access to local news, weather, and sports, though viewers can access content via over-the-air antenna signals or streaming platforms like YouTube TV and DirecTV.
- To restore service, viewers can perform an 'Auto Scan' in their channel setup menu to utilize an antenna. "It's a simple process that is usually found in your TV," the instructions stated.
- Industry analysts described the impasse as a recurring retransmission consent dispute common in the pay-television ecosystem; while both companies have a history of resolving similar standoffs, this round appears more protracted amid broader industry shifts.
