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.    Get real Comcast and leave TCM alone.  Seriously!

How can they drop a channel and then re position it in a package that will cost you $9.95 more a month? And when I called they tried to tell me it would save me money!!! And it's in a sports package  Comcast gets greedier by the day

Seems as if moving TCM hasn’t fooled anyone. Funny the customer service told me I would save money in the long run. Not a very good answer. I must say good bye when my contract is over. Honoring a contract is not a xfinity motto. Just as wrong as can be to take it away and still charge the same amount. Good grief .

I want my TCM back. I’m very ticked. I’m going to start a bunch of online protests. What the heck does sports have to do with TCM? I give you enough money! I had this channel forever since the beginning. I’m not paying you more money. how did u take it away. I’m thinking of canceling and moving to a tv service that has this. Fix it. I know a lot of people that are upset too. We will not just take this. Bring it back!!!!!!

Xfinity, aren't you being rash and greedy? Don't you realize that by tacking on additional fees to popular channels like TCM you only accelerate the cord-cutting movement?

Take a look at cordcuttersnews.com...

For what we all pay for all levels of X1 service, unilaterally taking away TCM (How much will you be lowering our bills for that, btw?)  and sticking it in a paid sports packaghe, as iof someone inteersted in movies of the 20s-70s just must want yuet more access  to football games (Not!) is insulting to paying customers. The move  shopuld  be reversed.

  • Who do I complain to about Turner Classic Movies being removed from my contracted package and put into another package that would cost me an additional $10/mo? This is duplicitous/false advertising; bait-and-switch, call it what you will but its despicable business practice. Rest assured that I will renew efforts to find an alternative to Xfinity.

Where is my Turner Classic Movies. When I signed back up to Comcast, I had to upgrage my service to get TCM, now I go on, and it's gone, what gives? I am very disappointed! If I have to pay more for your service I will consider dropping cable. I'll be stuck with your internet because we don't have FIOS here YET

I am one unhappy customer!

 

 Why has the AMC channel (in western PA) been moved into the Sports and Entertainment group for heavens sake? As you know this requires an additional cost.  This isn't right. Please reconsider.

Just wanted to pass along my disappointment in Comcast moving TCM to a premium package that

seems to have no correlation to the other channels in the grouping.  Not cool!  

 

Just another reminder why I keep switching between providers every 2-3 years.....

Its unbelievable that Comcast has taken away TCM and placed it in a sports package. My guess is they need to build another ridiculous sized headquarters in downtown Philadelphia and will do it by attempting to extort an additional $10 a month from its customers. Shame on you comcast.

Xfinity is locking all the forum posts related to the poor decision they made of charging for TCM.  So much for free speech!  I am one of the 1000's (or millions) who are completely disgusted with this decision.  We pay ridiculous rates they charge for channels we don't watch so that we can watch the few channels we want, and then they start charging for those.  Breach of contract in my opinion.  I have no problem moving to another provider and getting a better deal in the process.  Good bye Comcast!
