What is hitz on xfinity?

As it said it would in late May, the operator started today replacing Cinemax channels with its own on-demand movie network, Hitz.

According to a premium-tier customer in a Philadelphia suburb, three of his five Cinemax channels are now listed as “HITZ, HITZ2 and HITZ3.”

“I’ve confirmed everything is moving forward as planned,” a Comcast press rep told B&C

The largest U.S. cable operator announced on a marketing page (opens in new tab) in late May that it was going to replace WarnerMedia-owned premium channel Cinemax with Hitz, effective July 17.

Comcast is apparently just slow in updating its marketing collateral to reflect the transition.

As of this morning, Cinemax is still listed (opens in new tab) as being a part of the premium tiers for which it was supposed to be replaced by Hitz. For example, Cinemax is still listed along with sibling network HBO, Showtime and Starz in the 260-plus-channel Xfinity Premier bundle.

And notably, Cinemax is still included on a Comcast marketing page (opens in new tab) devoted to premium channels offered by the operator. These also include Epix and Showtime Networks-owned The Movie Channel.

Hitz, Comcast said, would replace Cinemax today, offering a rotating selection of 200 films from major studios on-demand. But it’s still not included on this premium channel page.

Effective today, the operator said, Cinemax is still be available to Comcast subscribers, but only as a $12-a-month premium add-on.
