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.

One thing you can do is look around the house and see if you have any Comcast equipment you don't need. Renting a modem? Buy one. Extra little used cable adapters? Return them.

There are several internet services that provide TCM as part of their packages. If your only high speed internet option is from comcast you will still have to pay them for interent to use this services. You can read more info here: https://flixed.io/watch-tcm-without-cable/
This website will also help you cut the cord. I will be using it to figure out what I am going to do. I just wish there was a non-comcast high-speed internet service where I live.

I am adding my voice to the many others speaking up this week who find the move of the TCM network to some upgraded sports bundle it is ridiculous and unfair!!
Those of us who never watch sports have already had to swallow the absurd regional sports fee you levy on us every month, and now some genius has decided to extort us even further by hijacking one of the few commercial free movie channels and lump it in with a bunch more sports channels we do not want and will not watch to the tune of $10 more per month. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
Cable companies like Comcast need to wake up and stop punishing those of us customers who have chosen to remain with them. With so many other non-cable options available, you need to evolve with the times and replace these non-sensical channel bundles and packaged price deals that some out-of-touch executive devises in a vacuum, without customer input, and start offering a la carte bundles that allow users to customize which channels we want to pay for.
After years of resisting moving my phone and internet to a single provider, I finally broke down and chose Comcast a couple of years ago. I had been happy with the triple play bundle pricing, but with those prices going up and the channel selection going down, rest assured I will be reconsidering this decision.
It's a shame that the highly compensated corporate executives do not see the short-sightedness of putting profits ahead of customers' satisfaction. Come on Comcast!! Your customers are speaking up loud and clear - can you hear?? Do you care??
GIVE US BACK TCM!!!

Piling on to keep frustrations alive....the TCM move to a sports package, absent of any real explanation or facts to help justify (yes, we know the ‘best answer’ to this thread is weak at best) completely disrespects customers.

This is cause after ten years of being a loyal customer to just say “ENOUGH” to move over to DISH! They have a better quality pictures more channels and a special .$55/mo for two years
Screw Comcast and their Greed!

When my contract is up I am done. To remove a channel from people who have a contract is just bad.

This is ridiculous and one more way to get you to pay more additionally each month without providing more or better service for the cost. The writing is on the wall...cord cutting is starting to hurt them...this is not the way to keep customers.

I agree. Why! TCM and sports don't go together.

I just wanted to let Comcast know that I too am disapointed that they have moved TCM to a sport package that I'm not interested in. Isn't there a better solution?
