NewsNation being dropped

@rtp3​ So says you.  You don’t represent comcast.

Thank you for bringing your concern to our attention, @adrahn. The only thing I have found regarding News Nation is under this link: https://www.xfinity.com/programmingchanges/.

@adrahn​ Yep. So says me and my 20 years of experience negotiating contracts with program providers for cable operators' distribution. But you are correct. I don't represent Comcast. I did, however, sell 2 of the cable companies that I built and managed to Comcast.

But wait...follow the link provided by XfinityKimberlyB, an "Official Xfinity Employee". Well, what's first on the list for contract expiration for December? Oh, my golly, gee...it's "NewsNation". I frankly could care less if Xfinity drops NewsNation; I have at least 6 sources for news that I actually watch. And I can watch "Blue Bloods" streaming on Hulu. Single source news doesn't provide much perspective.

I read your

“We’re committed to bringing you the best in entertainment”

as suggested.

Here I found the following

“When an agreement with a programmer ends, it sometimes means that programmer’s content can no longer be offered on our platforms.”

And if this is the case, your organization needs to created a new agreement to keep NEWSNATION.  As a customer, and I hope, a valued subscriber you will make this happen.

My opinion, NEWSNATION, I find to be as unbiased as can be these days, and a public service needed to help educate the public with a new perspective not found in any other one of your channels.

Give us that option, DO not just cancel!!!  I would be happy to pay a little more fro NewsNation!!!

@user_0b8b25. We will always continue to work on an agreement. Here is more about how it works. https://www.xfinity.com/howitworks/

@user_20b0da - Thank you for your feedback and for voicing your concerns on the Xfinity Forums. Your feedback helps us reevaluate the channels and programs we offer. Please provide feedback for channel requests and content to be added here. Thank you!

Do not drop? The Best source of news you got. The only one we watch, the rest are to bias.

Please do not get rid of News Nation.  It is the fastest growing and best bi partisan option out there.

Hi there @user_8dc26e!  Thanks so much for taking the time to reach out to Xfinity here on our Community Forum!  We are so happy to hear from you and want to help out in any way that we can.  Most of the channels that we offer are owned by media companies other than Comcast, which means we need to pay those companies in order to bring their channels to our customers. We negotiate contracts with these media companies to obtain the rights to carry their channels, on-demand content, and streaming apps on our platforms. Comcast has successfully renegotiated thousands of expiring contracts over the years and rarely experienced an interruption of service.   Once a channel contract expires, we no longer have the right to carry that channel and associated on-demand content on our platforms. Loss of broadcast stations listed here would include loss of the multicast signals, if any, associated with the stations.  We hope to come to a mutually amicable decision that benefits all parties involved, and above all our customers.
