WHY IS COMCAST CHANGING TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES TO SPORTS PACKAGE IN OCTOBER?
I just received a notice from Comcast that they are removing TCM, Turner Classic Movies, from all current packages and moving it to the SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT PACKAGE? What possible logic is there to that brilliant change? TCM is widely viewed by many Comcast subscribers on their regular packages--NOT SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT PACKAGE! I URGE COMCAST TO LEAVE TCM WHERE IT IS. I am seriously considering cancelling my Comcast subscription over this.

TCM is one of the few channels we watch with our current package. There are already too many sports channels that we never watch. Why would a classic channel be moved to a special tier with more sports stuff? Quite unfair to us movie lovers! I can see more customers looking for alternative companies to Comcast who claim to care about customers. In addition to offering just more sports, customers already have to pay an extra sports channel fee whether they want sports or not.
Choices are clearly not customer focused but on profits.

I am beyond mad that this was taken from the line up. But, why cannot I not see what the complete channelline up is for the upgrade? Is it like Obamacare, I need to buy it to find out what is in it?

Yeah, that'll teach me to read the extra stuff that comes with my bill. I just clicked on TCM today and found out it isn't there anymore. I don't know what's in this 'Sports' package which TCM has been consigned to - I'm already getting NBC Sports and ESPN. What other sports channels are there which I could possibly need? I've stuck with Comcast for a long, long time - I always figured they have such a big presence here in Philadelphia, I should show some loyalty. But this just feels like a slap in the face. Classic movies in a 'Sports' package? What are they thinking!

I cannot believe TCM was moved to the Sports Entertainment Package. COMCAST, what are you thinking??? We pay over $200/month for your service. We signed up for the Preferred Channels which included TCM, now you pull it from the lineup. Congratulations on your total lack of customer service.

Dear Sir:
I am extremely disappointed in Comcast for removing TCM from the regular lineup. When I signed up for my 2 year contract I specifically requested that TCM be part of my lineup. Furthermore, when I heard rumors that I would be losing TCM I called the Comcast helpline 3 weeks ago and they assured me that I would not be losing TCM as long as I did not make any changes to my current package.
Shame-shame on Comcast.

Until the TCM change happened, I was very satisfied with Xfinity; it has been the most reliable cable service we have every used. There are dozens upon dozens of channels that we never watch and channels that we can literally watch on 3 different channel numbers. But you change the availability of the what is obviously a unique channel and which was the reason we chose the package we did when we signed up. This change has made me take a serious look at our viewing habits and what we are paying for. I will be shopping around and odds are we will be going back to Dish.

Now after a couple decades with Comcast, I think I'll start looking for other options.

I dont understand, I am in a contract why are you removing contracted channels from my package twice this year?? And why target fixed income retired folks to force them to pay for a sports package they would never want? How much is this sports package?

Now it is part of a sports package (because there aren't enough sports channels already) which adds an additional $10 to the already hefty price tag of cable TV. We are going to check out satellite providers.

Moving TCM is an outrage. I do not like or watch sports. Look at what channels may be canceled in December - including STARZ. A corp as
influential as Comcast can certainly negotiate better than this! They have
no competition in broadband in most of the country, unlike China, etc.
