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 get that Xfinity doesn't want to pay whatever increased rates Scripps is demanding for access to its channels. But what I don't understand is why I can't stream NBC programming on Peacock. Programs just display a "blackout dispute" error screen. Aren't NBC and Xfinity owned by the same parent company? Why is the owner of a local broadcaster allowed to block your customers from accessing content that you own through your internet streaming service?

This is rediculous. Three weeks and no local ABC station. No refund. Both companies blaming each other. Corporate greed is destroying everything in our everyday life.

Our local Fox 13 has been off Xfinity for too long now. It’s the channel I watch the most. I have cable so I don’t have to bother with an antenna or 20 different ways of getting the channels I want. I hav cable so I can record. This is ridiculous and frustrating.

This is ridiculous it’s been over a month of no ABC channel access. I’m now looking into replacing Comcast unless all parties involved can resolve this issue soon!

It has been a month since we lost access to Scripps programming including our local ABC channels. There has been no update on the progress of negotiations or resolution to this problem. I resent given the suggestions on how to restore my access to ABC channels. ALL of the options require us to pay for some other service or item (antenna, YouTube TV, roku, etc.). It is appalling to me that this company would suggest I spend more money without giving me some discount on the extraordinary amount of money Xfinity charges. The economic conditions in my state are difficult and getting harder. I must examine the affordability of all my services. I am cancelling streaming subscriptions because the costs are too high. I expected more from Xfinity. I have been a loyal customer at this address for 12 years and at another address for 15 years. If there is no resolution soon, I will cancel my service and switch to another carrier. This is too much. I am fed up!
