WGN no longer part of lifeline (Limited Basic)?

[Mr Tony]

I never thought I'd see this.
Looking at the channel chart and WGN America (or whatever they are calling themselves now) is no longer in Limited Basic (Lifeline)?

As long as I can remember (back to when my grandma had cable in the early 80s) WGN was ALWAYS in lifeline (even through all the names/buyouts we had). It was on channel 12 until 2000 then it moved to 22.

TBS and CNN are still in lifeline for Comcast in Minneapolis (on 7 & 3 in SD....HD numbers in the 800's)

As someone that lived in the Chicago area for 55 years I used to watch them at least once a day. But with all the changes in programming over the last year or so the only program I watch is Mathatten.

 

[Mr Tony]

I know they changed their programming and dropped the sports But it seems odd that they would get moved to a higher package (digital starter)

But then again this is comcast and they moved TCM & Spike out of the digital starter pack recently

They moved, I thought, when it converted from a superstation into a cable network: http://wgnamerica.com/faq

but it was done here in Minneapolis just a month or so ago. Have a relative with Digital Basic (Lifeline) and I saw it on there maybe 2 months ago

Well, who knows when Comcast catches up with the rest of the world?

It's been that way here in Chattanooga Tennessee area for awhile. Starter or above. TBS is still in lifeline with CSPAN 1,2 and shopping channels. Ice, just to be clear for me, do you have lifeline or starter? Sorry, I got confused

 

[Mr Tony]

I have starter (its included in the rent).

I was just making an observation on the channel card I picked up at the local office when I got my cable card. TBS and CNN are still in lifeline for Comcast in Minneapolis
