Losing TV Channels

As I opened my invoice today , I see where  Starz will be replaced with  something called Epic  to save cost  ???  Really ?   So TMC has been moved to the sports package and  customer service said in order to keep that great channel ,  we could pay  an additional $ 5.95  a month to keep it !  We are already paying $8.25   a month for a  sports fee that we did not ask for and  cannot be removed  !   Angry in Georgia.
