Falmouth, MA - August 17, 2023 - Effective September 21, 2023, due to the upcoming Comcast (Xfinity) channel lineup changes, Falmouth’s local public, education, and government channels will move from their legacy channel numbers of 13, 14, & 15 to channels 6, 8, & 9, respectively. Falmouth Community Television (FCTV) will continue its stewardship of these channels as they have since 1993. The changes to the Xfinity cable channel listings will include the following: The Public Channel, featuring programming powered by community, reflecting the interests and activities of the Falmouth community, will no longer be found on Channel 13; as of September 21, viewers should tune in to Channel 6. The Education Channel, a resource for students, parents, and educators, offering daily live morning announcements on school days, school board meetings, events, and alerts from our local schools, will no longer be found on Channel 14; viewers should tune in to Channel 8. The Government Channel, providing live coverage of municipal meetings, programs that highlight our government at work, and the latest important updates from Town Hall, will no longer be found on Channel 15; viewers should tune in to Channel 9. This channel reconfiguration on Xfinity in Falmouth does not affect the many other options for viewing FCTV programming, including the Falmouth Community Television channels on Roku and Apple TV, the live-streamed channels on the FCTV website at fctv.org, or on the Cablecast Screenweave smartphone app available for Android and iOS.
