I hate these local questions because I know the audience for them is minimal, but Imma throw it out there anyhow.
Few weeks ago I was at the Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show in Tacoma, and I was wearing one of my Joker's Wild Devil shirts, and the lady at the door checking wristbands recognized it and we got to talking, and she mentioned that she watched Buzzr on the regular on TV, through Comcast.
Now, older lady, it's entirely possible she was a little confused and actually has Dish, and Buzzr's page doesn't suggest any local affiliates (but it's also possible that list hasn't been updated in a while), but I ask since my cable tuner isn't a standard Comcast box and so I don't automatically get new channels popping up - did Buzzr show up on Comcast in Seattle and I don't know about it?

This simple web site will let you know the channel lineup for any area that Comcast serves. Assuming all of Seattle/Tacoma uses the same headend, Buzzr is NOT listed. If you put in just the city and state and pick an address, you can see a lineup. No exact address needed.

Comcast has been rolling out new boxes with integrated Xumo to some customers. I’m not in a Comcast market, so I haven’t seen it in action. But I’m guessing she may have one of those new boxes and is legit watching it “on Comcast” that way, even though BUZZR isn’t officially in the channel lineup.

...Buzzr's page doesn't suggest any local affiliates...
Wikipedia claims it's available OTA on 13.4 (believable, since Buzzr does have a carriage agreement with the Fox O&O stations).

Not Seattle, but here in Tampa, Charter/Spectrum started carrying Buzzr on its channel lineup about a year and a half ago. Just checked their website, it's still not listed on there (Channel 603, BTW).

The Comcast X1 platform has included Pluto for several years now, she may have also seen it on there.

Oh, I bet one of these is the answer. Would make a lot of sense. Thanks!
