missing channels

I just signed a new 5-year contract extension in December. April 1st comcast stopped broadcasting channels #1168 Grit and #1174 Laff. My wife and I view these channels at least 60 percent of the time. However comcast will not negotiate with E.W. Scripp fairly and has stopped my access to these channels. I see this as a breach of contract unless comcast either offers other options at no additional cost or restores these channels. Thank you for your consideration on this matter.

Hi there, @user_1ahi1n. Thanks for reaching out about the loss of channels owned by E. W. Scripps. This programming is currently unavailable as Comcast’s agreement with the network has expired. Please know Comcast pays programmers to bring you the entertainment you love, and a number of reasonable offers have been made that they haven’t accepted. Comcast is working toward bringing back this programming, but only with fair pricing, terms, and conditions for customers. I know unexpected changes to your TV lineup can be frustrating, and I apologize for any inconvenience. For more information, visit https://www.xfinity.com/programmingchanges.  Channel lineups are subject to change. If you would like to see about different service options, we would be happy to help with that.
