Poor Decision to Drop Scripps
Hi Xfinity Team,
I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with your decision not to renew your contract with Scripps.
As one of the most expensive cable providers, Xfinity continues to increase rates while simultaneously reducing the value of its offerings. As a customer, I have the ability to make choices based on my budget—whether to keep or drop certain channels. It is frustrating that this same flexibility does not appear to be considered in your negotiations with content providers.
At no point were customers consulted on whether we would be willing to absorb a reasonable increase to retain access to these channels. Instead, the decision was made unilaterally, resulting in the removal of what many consider standard broadcast programming—not niche or premium cable content.
If Xfinity is choosing not to carry these channels, then it is only fair that customer billing reflects that reduction in service. I should not be paying premium prices for a diminished channel lineup.
I am requesting:
- A clear explanation of why this decision was made
- Information on whether Scripps programming will be restored
- An adjustment to my bill to reflect the loss of these channels
I value transparency and fairness, and I hope Xfinity will take customer concerns seriously in both its pricing and programming decisions.

Spot on except for one point. The longer I don’t get CBS, the less I miss it. Comcast and Scripps are both losers in this.

I am really frustrated with the decision not to renew Scripps. In my area, where Xfinity is the only cable provider available, I am unable to receive CBS. Over half the programs I watch are on CBS. With what I pay currently for cable I can’t afford to pay for a streaming service to watch my programs the next day. Please settle this contract dispute ASAP. Years ago the saying was I want my MTV, well I’ve got a new saying, I WANT MY CBS.

I agree we need the channels back as well as explanation of why no prior notice given. Our fox 47 went off in middle of show and 5 mins later got email from Comcast. NO prior notification nor did anyone I talked to that was effected. Very bad customer service

I agree with comment. It is a great suggestion to give a refund to us. Your prices have gone up the past 2 months without explanation, and now this without notice! Please do something as soon as possible to resolve this situation.
