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.

I have been a Comcast subscriber for 25 plus years, and it is my most expensive utility. If Scripps programing is not restored, specifically WPTV, our LOCAL NBC provider, I will cancel ALL services with Comcast by June 1st of 2026. It is absolutely outrageous that local programing that is available for FREE over the air is not included with cable service. My bill over the past several years averages around $225 per month. The clock is ticking Comcast.....

THIS HAS GONE ON WAY TO LONG! I pay way too much for this service to not be able to get NBC. Our community is looking in to changing cable contracts and as right now, I can’t wait. I’ve been an Xfinity customer for multiple years and I am SO DISAPPOINTED! WE NEED Compensation for the month and possibly months of no NBC.  GET IT TOGETHER!
