E. W. Scripps Programming Agreement Expired

Our household has been watching ABC/WXYZ channel 7 for over 30 years , my wife specifically watches GMA and our local news coverage.  To suddenly not have access to LIVE broadcasts through our Xfinity account is not acceptable. Please return the ABC channel to your available channels. Thank you for putting your attention to this concern. 

Hi Xfinity Team,

I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with your decision not to renew your contract with Scripps.

As one of the most expensive cable providers, Xfinity continues to increase rates while simultaneously reducing the value of its offerings. As a customer, I have the ability to make choices based on my budget—whether to keep or drop certain channels. It is frustrating that this same flexibility does not appear to be considered in your negotiations with content providers.

At no point were customers consulted on whether we would be willing to absorb a reasonable increase to retain access to these channels. Instead, the decision was made unilaterally, resulting in the removal of what many consider standard broadcast programming—not niche or premium cable content.

If Xfinity is choosing not to carry these channels, then it is only fair that customer billing reflects that reduction in service. I should not be paying premium prices for a diminished channel lineup.

I am requesting:

1. A clear explanation of why this decision was made
2. Information on whether Scripps programming will be restored
3. An adjustment to my bill to reflect the loss of these channels

I value transparency and fairness, and I hope Xfinity will take customer concerns seriously in both its pricing and programming decisions.

Give me back wptv please

Where can I watch NBC Nightly News on NBC? WPTV doesn't broadcast any shows because of their contract dispute with Scripps. 

Apparently all of the news stations that I’m interested in are now gone. Is my bill going to be reduced moving forward? What’s an alternative to being able to watch the same shows that were on Scripps ? If you’re saving money by not offering those scripps services moving forward are our bills going to go down or if you are able to make a deal with them, how much is our bill going to go up?

When will my channels return?  Will I be getting a refund for loss of service 

Please return ABC to lineup. The amount of money spent monthly with xfinity is adequate for this. If you cannot do this, then I will be looking for new service. There are many out there.
