If users have subscriptions or Starz ow Showtime via Amazon, they van view those channels as well.

The move seems like a bit of a catch-22, as Amazon has been one of the main streaming services taking away from cable. The move is a huge leap for Comcast, as the chord cutting movement has had a direct impact on their business over the last few years.
