Scripps channels gone

Since April 1, Scripps channels have been pulled.  This is quite unacceptable.  In my city, SLC, UT., the Fox 13 local channel is the only local channel that airs local news when I’m getting ready for work and the local channel airs the best shows at the end of the day as well.   It is unacceptable that Comcast’s/Xfinity has discontinued these channels and I will change carriers if these channels are not reinstated.  This is not the first time there has been a temporary halt.  Do better comcast!    We pay a lot for your service, make it worthwhile!

Feel the same way. Xfinity is expensive enough and over last few years service has gotten worse. Been a customer since 1998, but thats about to change.

This is unacceptable. We pay so much as it is. We are a captured audience.  Costs are passed on to us, as I am sure will happen once a new deal is struck.

user_fb7ijb E. W. Scripps cable network programming is currently unavailable as our agreement with E. W. Scripps has expired.

 

Please know we pay programmers to bring you the entertainment you love, and a number of reasonable offers have been made and they haven’t been accepted. Comcast is working toward bringing back this programming, but only with fair pricing, terms, and conditions for customers. I know unexpected changes to your TV lineup can be frustrating, and I apologize for any inconvenience. For more information, visit https://www.xfinity.com/programmingchanges.

Very dissatisfied & disappointed losing SLC Utah local channel Fox 13. I pay a lot of money to Xfinity for cable, internet as well as cell phones, to lose a much watched & preferred local channel.

This is forcing me to rethink my provider for all 3 & I am in the process of researching other possible provider considerations. It is unacceptable to take this long to come to a compromise to end this dispute. To suggest a higher cost to loyal customers should an agreement be made will also be unacceptable.

So how much will the monthly rate be reduced and when will this adjustment be made? We are being charged the same amount for less channels. There should be an adjustment for this.

Message displayed on TV says Xfinity cannot meet Scripps price without increasing customer price. It should say "without maintaining our huge profit margins". Also cannot see local hockey/basketball for the same reason.

Eff Comcast

That being said, eff Scripps too for holding NBC/ABC hostage. These aren't some streaming sports channels. These are national networks that should be free to everybody.

What was your profit last year Xfinity and not to air Fox that’s actually a over the air free channel due to greed and malice is wrong 🤯 I knew the original owner of Comcast and he is rolling over in his grave due to your greed and malice and lies.  I believe you owe your customer base a refund since off the air and to bring Fox back asap meaning today and management you need another sports car or second home off consumers🤯 your PNL is public and shame on all you upper and mismanagement team wanting to lie to your customers💩

I totally agree. News channel 5 in Nashville is a Scripps service and it is what we watch on Comcast 90% of the time. I am frustrated. If they don’t get this resolved soon, we will likely switch to  

streaming combined with an HD antenna.
