Unlike Dish and DirecTV, Comcast doesn't have much a of a footprint in rural areas. So I doubt that many Comcast customers ever watched RFD-TV.

It got pulled for a cooking channel. They (RFD TV) were running a 2 minute commercial about it (saw it during Hee Haw)

A lot of older folks around here,watch hee haw,and the country music shows on RFD.It's not just a rural channel.Shame on Comcast.

They ran a longer spot about it last week during the "Larry's Country Diner." Hope DISH (Or Direct) get some customers that switch)

Interesting. In most of the places I visit, Comcast is primarily in the cities. Take where I live in the Detroit suburbs. Comcast is big in the Detroit area, except in the further out subs. Charter is the cabelco in those areas.
