Ch1459 no longer available on UVerse TV ... please get this restored with the provider ZLiving .... we are paying for it in the U300 package and it should not be dropped.
You are not paying for any specific channels guaranteed. Over the years channels come and go. In this case ZLiving is gone from U-Verse. In fact 3 years ago it left Dish. It seems the channel just isn't cutting it for pay TV providers to come to a new carriage agreement.
Sorry but every single channel CAN be dropped. Not a single one are you entitled to always or ever have. That is the reality of TV.
There was a channel years ago called Nick GAS which was all the 90s "games and sports" that Nick used to show back in the day.
It was sunset in favor of some other Nick channel, but a few providers (I think U-Verse was one) had a different contract that expired later. These providers had a continual loop of just a few shows while the remnants of the channel were on autopilot until the contracts expired.
ZLiving is back today (March 16). Happy to see it back. With shows like "The Jack Benny Show", "Real McCoys", "Ozzie and Harriet", "Laugh In", "Greatest American Hero", I find I watch ZLiving a lot more than many of the mainstream "popular" channels. Thanks for bringing ZLiving back, Uverse!

According to Z living's Wikipedia article:
Which probably means they couldn't come to terms on a new deal.

The website for that channel isn't responding. It was supposed to have shut down its linear channel years ago.

Perhaps this situation was similar.

...And just like that, on March 18, ZLiving disappeared again. Too bad. I really liked that channel. Oh well...

Yup, AT&T brought it back for 2 days and now it is gone again.
Zliving has said they are not in a carriage fee dispute with AT&T
so this channel should be available ... Hope these (Edited per community guidelines) figure it
out that you should Satisfy Your Customers
