Why the Sports & Entertainment Pack?
I could never understand the reason for this special package. Why can’t it just be included with Ultimate TV, which I have? Do they really think that people would be willing to pay an extra $10 a month for channels that really should be included with the other packages such as CMT and TCM. Why did those have to get moved to the Sports & Entertainment Package?

The reason the Sports & Entertainment pack exists is, Xfinity doesn't want to have to pay the channel providers for each person in whatever package it would be put in, as the cost would almost certainly be passed on to the people who have that package, very few of whom would ever watch any of the channels on it. By putting them in a separate package like this, the number of people who actually get each channel is lower, so the amount Xfinity pays out is also lower.

I agree with you Gw1594. I use to have those other channels on my plan and they were removed and sent to the Sports and Entertainment package. I have friends that never watch sports! Why should they have to get a package that has sports channels they will never watch! Xfinity will not change this either! This is why so many people just gave up and cancelled their cable and only stream! I will probably do the same in the next couple of years.
