Keep my other TV channels but drop Fox News

Hi, I enjoy my Xfinity TV subscription but I do not wish to pay for Fox News. I would like either: 

  1. Remove it from my subscription, leaving other channels unchanged. 
  2. Change to a different subscription that includes all my favorite channels but does not include Fox News.

I do not wish to downgrade to a subscription with only basic channels. 

I do not want to pay more for a subscription that drops Fox News, as this option should cost me less. I would be willing to pay the same amount, you just distribute the money some other way but do not pay for Fox News.

I want you to offer your customers a way to get there favorite shows and NOT pay for Fox News.

There is no a-la-carte on channels. It's part of packages, nothing you can do as it is part of the contract that Comcast has with Fox Broadcasting. It's not just Fox News, but also covers various sports networks, some local stations, and other Fox Broadcasting networks. It's typically all or nothing.

Thanks Andy. My point is that I want Comcast to write a new contract with Fox that let's me do what I am asking. From what I know there are others who feel the same. Ideally we would band together and make Comcast feel such pressure that they would be obliged to make this change.

user_ps79qp, Hit there! Thanks for taking the time out of your Monday to visit XFINITY our forums page to provide this valuable feedback on making this change. As a paying consumer myself, I can relate to not wanting to pay for channels you do not watch. You've come to the right place for help. We regularly evaluate our XFINITY TV to ensure it includes the best combination of programming options to appeal to our customers. Even though it is part of a contract that cannot be changed as Andyross awesomely mentions, we can certainly pass along your feedback. Here is also a great link to our feedback section to ensure your voice is heard. With Fox News being a channel that you would like dropped, what are some of your must have channels?

There should be a way to subscribe only the required channels.

@user_ehdlhq​ While I occasionally watch Fox News, I do agree with you in that nobody should be forced to pay for what they don't want...
