Can you please tell me where I can find FETV? Today I spoke to my Cable Company( COMCAST), here in Vermont, and they told me That FETV has pulled out of all TV Companies such as Direct TV, Sattelite, Dish TV , and Comcast. Is this true?
I loved FETV and was horrified to find they weren’t on anymore on Cable TV. It’s great old sitcoms and clean family viewing was so refreshing.
How will I ever be able to see FETV again?
Please reply.
Thank you so very much, Patricia Goulette Rutland Vt.
FETV is still available but apparently not on your Comcast system. They are carried on DirecTV and Dish. For more info, visit FETV’s website https://fetv.tv/channels/
