E. W. Scripps Programming Agreement Expired

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.

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

Please reinstate E. W. Scripps local programing or refund local channel fees.

It stands to reason that if Xfinitu is no longer paying Scripps that they now have a net surplus of funds. All of this stuff about bringing us exemplary entertainment yet not addressing the customer’s questions is dodging the issue. We have a right to expect receiving the major networks. Either bring back ABC or lower our bills. 

Please restore Channel 7. 

This is utterly unacceptable to not have the basic cable channels during the biggest sports time of the first half of the year. 

Xfinity has made more than enough money this last year and is making paying customers bear the burden of them trying to squeeze an extra few points of margin. 

I’ll be contacting customer service to cancel my subscription today. 

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.

When Will I be able to see channel 7 again.  And will I get a refund on my bill so the time I have not been able to see the channel?

Will I be receiving a credit for your removal of Scripps from my original contract?

Since April 1, Scripps channels have been pulled.  This is quite unacceptable.  In my city, SLC, UT., the Fox 13 local channel is the only local channel that airs local news when I’m getting ready for work and the local channel airs the best shows at the end of the day as well.   It is unacceptable that Comcast’s/Xfinity has discontinued these channels and I will change carriers if these channels are not reinstated.  This is not the first time there has been a temporary halt.  Do better comcast!    We pay a lot for your service, make it worthwhile!   

This is unacceptable. Bring back NBC. With the amount that we already pay, the fact that this loss of a complete network b/c of money is selfish. BRING BACK NBC.

Bring back NBC! Stop being selfish at our expense
