Ok my aunts favorite channel is chiller which was nbc/universal/Comcast horror movie sister station to the syfy channel

we went to check it to see whats on and get a thing saying its programming is no longer available

I was thinking it was another rate fight so I called the cable company and they said they were no longer broadcasting but the website is still up and theres listings for weeks and nothing saying it or the esquire channel going off the air on the internet … anyone else who watches the channel getting this message ?

Charter Spectrum has dropped both Esquire and Chiller. Esquire will become online only in July. They dropped them on April 25.
