Hallmark Movie will be be added to Channel 500 for Digital Starter viewers.
Limited Basic subscribers will see the same changes as in Stockton.

Viewers will see fewer changes. Digital Starter viewers will get the same enhancements as in Tracy, including Hallmark Movie. Also, Limited Basic subscribers will lose TV Guide and see QVC and HSN shift channels.
"These channel migrations are another step in Comcast's ongoing effort to offer more value to our digital customers," Steve White, senior vice president of the cable giant's California region, said in a news release.
The television service changes follow last week's announcement that Comcast was boosting its high-speed Internet service to as much as 50 megabytes per second downloading throughout its San Joaquin County service area and much of Central California.
For most existing subscribers to the Performance tier of service, access speeds have doubled, rising to 12 Mbps downloading and 2 Mbps uploading.
Subscribers also can opt for even more speed with Ultra, offering up to 22 Mbps down and up to 5 Mbps up, and Extreme 50, 50 Mbps down and 10 Mbps ups.
Such speeds are not cheap, however, with the top tier costing $99.95 a month on top of a Comcast television subscription for residential subscribers.
Comcast Internet customers should reset their modems to make sure they're receiving the highest speeds possible.
