When I try to go the channels.m3u, it doesn't return anything:

I did dig through kodi.log and saw that it included the 29938328f60d447299ec48511a09ebab (Sling Blue COMEDY) when I tried to play it.

I'm assuming that when I go into the database I should not be seeing the additional Sling Blue channels that I am seeing (CNN, COMEDY, COMET). Is this correct?

Yup that's definitely a stale database. The channels url didn' show anything because chrome doesn't like the syntax, you can just right-click and select "View page source".
