Comcast new channel lineups
I'm not sure all of you will agree, but Comcast has announced that "a new and improved channel lineup" is coming to Anne Arundel County, including the City of Annapolis, and Howard County, come Saturday, August 23.
Many of you have already expressed your unhappiness about Comcast moving Washington D.C. stations from analog to digital, many of you were really displeased, and many of you felt like you were being pushed into digital service, forcing you to pay more for your cable.
Comcast spokesman Aimee Metrick says, "The new lineups will be divided into distinct genre-based categories, making it simple to search for and find news, sports, children’s programming, educational shows and more at the touch of the remote."
"The new channel locations also help make these local channel lineups more consistent with other Comcast service areas throughout Maryland," she says. "We are confident that once customers experience the ease and intuitiveness of the new lineup, they will love it."
Check out Comcast's Web site for more information about this channel lineup change.
Here's an example from the Q&A:
Q: Are channels being removed as part of the new lineup?
A: No channels will be removed in this process; however some channels will be changing service levels.
In Northern Anne Arundel County:
- CN8 will be moving from Limited Basic service to Expanded service
- C-Span, EWTN and MASN2 will be moving from Expanded service to Limited Basic service
- In City of Annapolis and Southern Anne Arundel County:
- CN8 and TVOne will be moving from Limited Basic service to Expanded service
- C-Span and MASN2 will be moving from Expanded service to Limited Basic service
- In Howard County:
- CN8, TBS, Discovery Health, TV One and BET will be moving from Limited Basic service to Expanded service
- HSN will be moving from Expanded service to Limited Basic service
I won't presume to know that you'll love it, but I'd love to hear how you feel about it one way or another.

I hate this new lineup. Everyone is saying they have done this to make it easier for the customer... bull! I don't know why they did it... and at this point I don't care anymore!!
Maybe I just don't like change... fine I can live with being thought of that way... BUT I do NOT like what Comcast has done and I hate the fact that they think we're all just so stupid to believe that people would have really asked them to change these channels like this.
BULL BULL BULL... put it back!
I know... that's not going to happen...
maybe I'll just get a dish... I have to learn all new channels any way so this seems like the most opportune time to switch to satellite!!
