CINCINNATI — WCPO 9’s parent company, Scripps, has reached an agreement with Comcast, and all Scripps stations are back on Xfinity for subscribers as of Tuesday.
We appreciate our viewers’ patience and look forward to serving them once again on the Xfinity service with local news, weather, live sports and entertainment programming.
For months, Scripps worked diligently to reach an agreement that was 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 and has been 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.
WCPO 9's signal is always free and available over-the-air. An antenna provides a reliable, high-definition viewing experience. Visit www.thefreeTVproject.org or Tablo TV to find the best antenna for your location. Viewers can also watch our live newscasts and other content by searching for the WCPO 9 streaming app on Roku, Amazon Fire TV and other connected TV platforms.
You can also see us on wcpo.com/live and other streaming platforms.
