UPDATE: NBC 26 & The Spot Green Bay 32's parent company, Scripps, has reached an agreement with Comcast, and both stations are back on Xfinity for subscribers Tuesday.

———
For months, NBC 26 and The Spot 32’s parent company, Scripps, has worked diligently to reach an agreement with Comcast Xfinity that is fair for both sides and viewers.
TV station owners and cable and satellite companies are required by Congress to negotiate distribution contracts. When customers pay Xfinity a monthly fee for programming, Xfinity pays each channel on its system a fee to include that channel in its service. That is the negotiation that is currently happening. Scripps uses these dollars to invest in local news, weather, and sports coverage at each station.
Our priority is to make sure that you are able to access the sports, news, weather and traffic updates that support your daily life, in addition to all the great programs we know you love.
What you can do: If you are a Xfinity customer and lost access to NBC 26 and The Spot 32 programming, call Xfinity at 1-800-934-6489 or visit here to ask them to return your programming.
Here is how you can stay connected.
