I get Dabbl on Comcast and really liked it.  I would look forward to watching Escape to the Country, Jamie Oliver, You gotta eat here...now its all stupid sitcoms I never heard of.  Why would they change the whole format.  I wish Comcast would let us pick the channels we want.  And to top it all off they raised the price!!

I was wondering about DABL. It still shows that the channel is DABL but all of the good shows are gone. Just stupid old sitcoms form the early 2000's

Dabbl changed their programming, so it's not Comcast fault. They decided to join the numerous other channels showing retro sitcoms.

 

Now I never watch.

I really liked DABL and Twist. Since DABL changed the lineup to terrible comedies, I'm thru with them. 

 

I'll watch Escape to the Country on Freevee.

I just mentioned the change to my husband.  We subscribe to YouTubeTv and can customize our guides.  It's been moved to the bottom of the guide.

have never heard of this channel, but we do get it.

nostalgia and retro channels are very IN at the moment.

perhaps they werent doing well and decided to change their format?

Dabl "quietly rebranded" to a very limited audience. I hear some providers have dropped it, but we have an indoor antenna, so we don't pay anyway.

Those of us who like lifestyle/home shows were disappointed. I viewed it as an alternative to cable's H&G. I liked Martha Stewart, Kitchen Nightmares, and some home renovation programs. I was even getting into "Rachael Cooks" (or something like that), a program comprised of solely of Rachael Ray's cooking segments, much like the Carol Burnett Show airing on the nostalgia channels only has her comedy sketches. Maybe these types of programs will resurface on another channel.

My sister has RCN cable and that was one of the few shows my sister liked. She's not a happy camper about this. She called the cable company about it and was told that Paramount owns this channel. Maybe cheaper for them to air old sitcoms. Was a good alternative to HGTV and Magnolia that only does the fixing up of houses.
