Same here! If Xfinity doesn’t have Bally so I can watch the Rays I might as well switch to a streaming service for TV and cancel Xfinity. Spectrum still has Bally for their customers.

Hello user_3anf6g. Thanks for reaching out about the loss of Diamond Sports Group (DSG) programming, which includes Bally Sports regional sports networks. This programming is currently unavailable as our agreement with DSG has expired. Comcast pays programmers to bring our customers the entertainment, information, and sports they want. We work to negotiate fair terms in order to ensure the greatest value for customers given all the ways content can be accessed today. We’ve been flexible with DSG, who is in bankruptcy proceedings, but have been unable to reach an agreement that’s fair for our customers Furthermore, we know unexpected changes to your TV lineup can be frustrating, and we apologize for any inconvenience. For more information, visit www.xfinity.com/howitworks.

@XfinityWilliam​ I also am concerned about the loss of Bally, but I am concerned about the Tampa Bay Lightning ice hockey games. I was told by a Lightning employee that Bally is still carried by Spectrum, but we are on Comcast/Xfinity which definitely doesn't carry Bally any more. Why can Spectrum afford Bally and Comcast cannot? In addition to Xfinity, we pay for AOL and ROKU, and also receive Peacock, Edge, and Chrome, using Windows 10. The NHL channel only broadcasts a few Lightning games. What is Comcast's policy for Lightning fans like me? [Edited: "Personal Information"].

You can enjoy out-of-market NHL games through NHL Center Ice. Check out that link on options to order that service and details about the pricing! That will be a great solution so you're not missing out any of your favorite team's games!

@XfinityBradM​ Most, if not all, of the people who are complaining live in Tampa's blackout zone, where NHL Center Ice will not show Lightning games because the NHL thinks that they are available on the RSN, and never mind that these people have Xfinity, which cannot come to terms with the RSN's owners and does not have the channel as a result. Their only current option is to leave Xfinity.
