Big10 network

WHY has Xfinity stopped responding to paying customers regarding YOUR dispute with the BIG10 Network ?  It's Friday afternoon before more blackout games and not one word as to what YOU are doing to rectify this dispute !  We are PAYING FOR THE BIG!) NETWORK and you are refusing to provide us the programming we are PAYING FOR !

This is Comcast's standard operating procedure, as well as the SOP of every other cable and satellite company that has ever gone through this (for example, what DirecTV is currently going through with ABC/ESPN), not to mention every company on the other side of this (have you heard a word from Fox, owners of Big Ten Network, about this?) Don't expect either side to say a word before this is resolved. As for how long it will take, why don't you ask the people with Xfinity who have ACC Network how long it took to get that channel?

One thing is certain: Comcast is not simply going to give Fox whatever it wants, especially if it's, "Put Big Ten Network on your 'standard' package everywhere in the USA" (otherwise why are the west coast teams blacked out of a significant number of cities - e.g. Denver, Sacramento - where there are no Big Ten teams?); remember, Comcast has to pay for every household that can get the channel, whether or not anyone there will ever actually watch it.

Comcast reports record profits each year and what they have to pay for the Big Ten Network is pennies compared to the profits they make. And by the way no one from Comcast has responded to many posts made on this forum about their customers who are paying $10 a month for their More Sports package that includes the Big Ten Network and are still blacked out.   Are they going refund the $10 or give use credit. Of course not because with Comcast the money goes only one way and that is into their profits.

@seattle4sports​ - no, Comcast is not going to refund your $10, because you still get the package. Maybe if you dropped the package and were still being charged for it, you would have a case. As for "Comcast can afford to pay whatever Fox is asking for Big Ten Network," if it caves in now, then it has to go back and pay Bally Sports whatever it wants, then Altitude Sports, then MSG, then Disney (which realizes that Comcast is now a soft touch and is going to ask far more for ESPN as a result), then CNN, and so on.
