E. W. Scripps Programming Agreement Expired

E. W. Scripps cable network programming is currently unavailable as our agreement with E. W. Scripps has expired.

 

Please know we pay programmers to bring you the entertainment you love, and a number of reasonable offers have been made and they haven’t been 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.

Why am unable to watch WPTV in Martin County.    I have watched that station all of my life since the early 70s.   I hope that you plan on prorating my bill.

I sure hope Comcast is working on getting an agreement with Scripps Broadcasting here in Michigan. The loss of the ABC stations means I have to find other ways to view them. Once I do that, I will learn I don't need to rely on Comcast. Additionally, customers should be seeing a reduction in our monthly rate now that you've eliminated channels that were in our package.

It's not Comcast's profit; they don't want to pay any more like you don't want to pay any more.  It's Scripps that is demanding more in carriage fees.

if you are looking to go out of business or lose massive numbers of customers, you are sure going about it right. "we're not giving you the one channel you watch (ch. 5 nashville), but we're going to charge you full price anyway."  great customer satisfaction plan....

This as bad as the Altitude Sports (Avalanche & Nuggets) fiasco. Please fix our access to our local ABC station. I'm looking into "cutting the cord". I find it amazing Comcast/Xfinity continues to take my money. You guys are doomed to be the next Blockbuster.......going out of business
