Local channel removed

What in the WORLD is going on with my local station? CBS channel 5!!!!? Are you kidding me! A local station that if I was to cancel my subscription and buy an antenna and receive all local stations for FREE! It’s ridiculous anyway that we are paying for free local stations and now it’s currently unavailable! I am not happy with this matter. At this moment xfinity has an upset customer weighing my options!!!!!

I am so upset too!  Same - my local channel gone due to some bullsh*t negotiations not working out.  Because I am sure Xfinity wants to maintain their bottom line. GRRRR

user_xpfld4, Thanks for reaching out about the loss of channels owned by E. W. Scripps. This programming is currently unavailable as Comcast’s agreement with the network has expired. Please know Comcast pays programmers to bring you the entertainment you love, and a number of reasonable offers have been made that they haven’t accepted. Comcast is working toward bringing back this programming, but only with fair pricing, terms, and conditions for customers. I know unexpected changes to your TV lineup can be frustrating, and I apologize for any inconvenience. For more information, visit https://www.xfinity.com/programmingchanges

This is unacceptable! I came here looking for other disgruntled customers. Aside from losing local channels, we’re missing Tracker, 60 minutes, FBI, just to name a few. I’ve been contacting them every week to complain. 🥹

I’m sure the sentiment is ditto thousands of times over. Guess 300 dollars a month for service is’t enough. I guess considering our options is what is needed.
