YES NETWORK - COME TO AN AGREEMENT! 😡

As a longtime loyal customer to Comcast Xfinity, who has greatly enjoyed being able to watch New York games on the YES Network, to hear the news that YES Network is going to be dropped is absurd.

I would highly recommend for Comcast Xfinity to come to an agreement with YES Network, unless you want to lose significant business and loyal customers.

Without YES Network, Comcast Xfinity is going to receive countless NOs & cancellations over the coming weeks.  

Come to an agreement ASAP!!

user_g92hko I completely understand wanting to ensure you have channels you view. Here is a great place to check on programming contract renewals: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/xfinity-programming-contract-renewals. There are a couple of hyperlinks available to click on that will take you the contract renewals sit, and updated contract renewals page.

I agree xfinity charges a lot for their services to want and charge us extra for a channel that is needed. If they discontinue the YES network channel I will be dropping xfinity as well.

I have been a customer for over 20 years and I will not go without missing 1 game.  To hear this on the broadcast yesterday is ridiculous.  If Comcast Xfinity does not get to the table to get this resolved I will drop them.  I pay way too much for cable.  Get it done for this lifelong Yankee fan

I completely understand your frustration. As a lifelong Yankees fan, missing even one game is unacceptable, especially after being a loyal customer for over 20 years.

I wanted to let you know that YES Network and Comcast have reached a last-minute agreement to avoid a blackout. Although nothing has been officially announced yet, this means that Yankees games will continue to be available on Comcast.

Thank you for your patience and loyalty. Let's hope for a great season ahead!

I,m dropping comcast after over 50 years over this. I,m already paying more than I feel is fair for what I’m getting. Losing yes again is the final straw. Looking for a better deal.

I cant believe Comcast is dropping the YES network because Yes won't agree to move them to Upper Tier which would cost subscribers $20/month. With folks cutting the cord, sounds like Comcast could care less about keeping their customer's business. Frontier just installed HIgh speed Finer optic in our neighborhood so Ill be moving my business elsewhere.!!!! Absurd Corporate Greed!

Just got off the phone with Comcast. They said business as usual! They haven't reached a final agreement so the cutoff that was scheduled for tonight 3/31 midnight is on hold. If it stands to be true then maybe just maybe they will keep Yes and not [Edited: "Language"] all! Fingers crossed

I hope this is true!  Where I live, Comcast is the only option unless I go to Verizon home internet and streaming.  I guess I will have to if YES is dropped.  Baseball is a very long season and something Yankees fans look forward to.  It was so depressing to see that scroll at the bottom of the games this weekend that YES was going to be dropped!

Yep I checked Yes at 12:45am and I still had the channel. I rechecked just now at 11:45am and still got it.

Just hearing about the possibility of dropping YES tomorrow .. I’ve been a loyal

customer for YEARS 1990’s… your prices continue to go up. My utilities are  not as much as my monthly xfinity bill  . I had to try to streamline my services to the bare minimum to  enable me to have some enjoyment for the over $200.00 I pay to you monthly,& never had a late payment .. but yet you claim to give your customers great deals at great prices.. The rewards program is ridiculous.. how does that benefit the majority of your customers? How far can people reach into their pockets… it’s so out of hand. Why do loyal customers have to deal with this . No YES channel.. you’re kidding me! You should remain competitive with other big providers. The more I read about Verizon and what they offer to their customers ,it is very tempting to make the switch…the last straw for many of your customers will be dropping YES..  Get with it today, and come to an agreement. I honestly can’t believe this is happening. 
I have to be nuts to pay a company $200.00 a month and beg them to NOT drop YES . No Yankees … I’m done! !! What’s this world coming to??????

Even worse, SNY is not facing this same issue because Comcast partially owns the network. If you're a mets fan you get to watch the games for no price increase yet Yankee fans have to pay a higher price. So sad what they are doing to it's customers.

I suffered through the last time they dropped the YES network, about 10 years ago or so. I won't be doing it again. For $209 dollars a month your services are already on the short list to be chopped down to just internet. This will only make it easier. Let's be honest I'm only home and awake for 5 hours a night. Maybe on the TV 2-3 hours of that, maybe.... Your services aren't justifying the cost. Especially if it's the one channel I was watching six days a week!

@user_7298qp​ Totally Agree! 209 is a bargain. I am paying 270+, shame on me. I have thier 125 channel package, because their slimmed down 50  version doesnt include a few channels we watch. Why can't Comcast/Infinity be creative and price thier packages to fit to what channels users want to subscribe to and price to each individual it that way? Can AI help? Good grief. My neighbor works for Verizon........paying have as much as we are ........Ill be reaching out to him.

Yup, If it's time to drop the Yes network, then it's time to drop Comcast. I guess I'll just be forced to listen on the radio and catch the occasional Amazon Prime game.

I am going to be honest here, Xfinity is already way overpriced and now being greedy to put the Yes Network on the top tier. This is the last straw. They lose the Yes Network I am done with Xfinity. I have Mobile phones and the triple play. Hopefully they use their heads and come to an agreement.
