comcast vs estrella tv

Looks like Comcast Houston has moved on past the dispute with Liberman. I noticed last night that KZJL's former HD (617) and SD (3) channel slots have been demapped from the Xfinity lineup. Both had been running a disclaimer graphic since the channel was yanked on February 19.
 
I was wondering how long it would take Crapcast to do something with Ch. 3. I wonder, is there some reason why they don't just replace the channel with another offering at this point? It's been what, Frog, 8 months? Maybe move 51 up to 3, replacing 61. That'd free up Ch. 2 for KPRC to go back home, and with no analog cable anymore, the interference issues that KPRC once dealt with operating on cable 2 some 20 years ago now have been rendered obsolete.
 
Liberman Broadcasting Filing Carriage Complaint Against Comcast

Liberman Broadcasting, parent of Spanish-language network Estrella TV, is filing a program carriage complaint against Comcast at the FCC, saying the cable operator violated not only the commission's rules but NBCU merger conditions—Comcast can't discriminate in favor of its own content.

Liberman says Comcast is discriminating against Estrella TV to favor its own Telemundo and NBC Universo networks and "unlawfully" demanding that Estrella give up digital rights.

Estrella pointed to the failure to come to a retrans deal with Comcast for three TV stations, in Denver, Houston and Salt Lake City and the “collapse” of ratings following those stations going off Comcast systems.

The contentious carriage impasse dates from last year, when KETD Denver, KZJL Houston and KPNZ Salt Lake City were pulled, or dropped, depending on which side was talking (though, technically, only the broadcaster can keep a signal on after the contract has ended).

Liberman was trying to upgrade from must-carry to retrans, electing to try to negotiate license fees for the stations. The other side of that election is that if a deal is not reached, Comcast does not have to carry them.
