Recent Xfinity programming changes

Dear Villages Residents, 

The purpose of this notification is to remind you of a recent change in our programming that took effect as of January 14, 2025.  Notification of the upcoming programming changes was made available to all residents starting in their December 2024 billing.  This notification can also be found in your Xfinity Bulkmaster Account billing for your property as well

Programming Changes

Most of the channels that we offer are owned by media companies other than Comcast, which means we need to pay those companies in order to bring their channels to our customers. We negotiate contracts with these media companies to obtain the rights to carry their channels, on-demand content, and streaming apps on our platforms. Comcast has successfully renegotiated thousands of expiring contracts over the years and rarely experienced an interruption of service. For more information on how we work with programmers, visit How It Works.

We list below contracts for channels that have recently expired or may expire soon, as well as other recent and upcoming programming changes. Once a channel contract expires, we no longer have the right to carry that channel and associated on-demand content on our platforms. Loss of broadcast stations listed here would include loss of the multicast signals, if any, associated with the stations. This site (or a link to another dedicated site) will be updated to reflect status changes to the listed channels.

As of January 14, the following networks have moved from Extra/Popular TV and Sports & News to Digital Preferred/Ultimate TV:

  • NBC Sports Bay Area
  • NBC Sports Boston
  • NBC Sports California
  • NBC Sports Philadelphia+
  • NESN

Any resident that would like to learn more about upgrading to our Ultimate TV package to include the networks that have been moved can call our Xfinity Communities support team at 1-855-307-4896, available 7 days a week.  

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions regarding the recent programming change.

Best,
