MeritTV 1094

So no more Merit TV, one less channel, Comcast going to give credits for less channel(s)?  LOL I doubt it.. 

If Xfinity is in the habit of telling us what we are allowed to watch after being a loyal customer for many years it’s probably time for me to leave.  I enjoyed Merit TV I guess I’m looking for a new cable company tomorrow. 

Hey there, user_19dj0w, thanks for reaching out through Xfinity Forums. We truly appreciate you choosing Xfinity, and we do not want to lose you as a customer. I will make sure that your feedback is submitted. 

I will be looking for another carrier since Xfinity dropped Merit TV. One oh the best and most trustworthy show of all times. My contract is up July 2025.

@user_ol76wi, we hear you and hope you do decide to stay with us. We will certainly pass along your feedback. Conditions may change in the future on the availability of this channel!

Comcast needs to negotiate with Merit Media tv to get it back. It's a great channel that offers good programming. 

Mom is 98 and enjoys Merit TV....May have to look for alternative service. At her age she deserves her original line up and shouldn't have to wait for the negotiations......We signed up for what she liked, you should provide as represented

I am sorry for the experience this brings to your mother. I know my dad also enjoys programing that is no longer being offered with Xfinity too. Most of the channels we provide to our customers are owned by media companies other than Comcast. We obtain the rights to carry channels according to contracts with those companies, which expire from time to time. Like any contracts, programming agreements exist for a fixed period of time and then expire. Comcast has successfully renegotiated thousands of expiring contracts over the years and rarely experienced an interruption of service but they do happen. I totally get how this is not the best answer or the most desirable and I am really sorry. @user_abinga

@XfinityDena​ Thanks for your reply.  In Seattle, instead of Merit, we are getting the Cowboy channel.  (CC).  When will negotiations with Merit be completed or when will the "guide" be corrected.  The guide still says that MERIT is "free to me", and it shows MERIT programming.  Thank you

FE TV is available but now in HD; double check

My comment Steve was that as channels disappear from the Xfinity lineup I'm not seeing a drop in price from Xfinity for less channels? !!  

@911REWINDER I totally agree with you when they discontinue one channel for whatever reason or move it to another tier we should be getting discounts that includes the outrageous broadcast to tax fees  but that's unfortunately not the case  Comcast it's all about $$$$.

I think Comcast and Merit were aware of this bankruptcy prior to removal and it would have been nice to they let us know rather than the scripted "we've negotiated thousands and thousands of contracts and never had a problem." Be honest with you I'm really getting tired of the "repeat parrot agents" they need to address our concerns rather than repeating a script.

Fortunately I'm able to still watch it on my local channel and of course there's always the free app that you can download by going to the Meritstreetmedia website.

because thats not how it works.... they didnt increase the price when channel were added 1 by 1
