NewsNation being dropped

A message went across the screen that said Comcast Xfinity was dropping NewsNation.  [Edited: "Solicitation"].   That’s our favorite News source.

Please do not drop NewsNation. It is the only news channel I can tolerate.

If you drop NewsNation and KOIN, I will be

forced to look at getting a satellite dish. I will not continue using your cable service.

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.  We hope to come to an amicable agreement that benefits both parties, but mostly, our customers.

I will also drop Comcast if they drop newsnation.  They charge customers enough to cover any charges they might have to pay.  Done and over.

If Comcast/Xfinity does not get a contract renewed with News Nation, we will be dropping our cable service.  This is the channel we use for news because of their commitment to unbiased reporting.

Please don't remove NewsNation from the Comcast lineup!  We watch this network every day.  It has become our only nonlocal TV news source because it is the only unbiased news network out there.  So there is no substitute for it on Comcast; if it goes, we will have to find news on some other media platform than Comcast.  

Thank you.

Cancelling NewsNation would leave only the voices of CNN, MSNBC and Fox and those voices are horrible. Cancel NN and you can cancel my subscription to Comcast.

Please do not Drop news nation. It’s the only bias news station on cable that covers much more than just politics, information that the public actually needs.

Please do not drop news nation it’s the only unbiased cable news network available today. They also cover a much broader range of topics besides politics.

I have called multiple times and cannot get to a live person or even recording to demand keeping NewsNation and especially WREG channel 3. Why are you threatening to get rid of a Memphis staple for 66 years. You charge a fortune for cable and do not take consider your viewers and where they live. WREG has the best weather reports especially during storms. They are the  channel that during emergencies talk to the kids and instruct them what to do when they’re home. Also, there are many highly rated shows that will not be aired if you do this. What you are doing by cutting shows/channels along with poor customer service, and constant increases in fees is why you are losing customers.
