Scripps - ABC Tucson

On March 31, 2026, Comcast/Xfinity removed access to KGUN 9 (Scripps) and a local affiliate for ABC.  As a consequence, we are no longer able to access local news and routinely watched programming via that channel.  We are quite frustrated at the way this has been handled.  The email sent by the company arrived 30 minutes AFTER access to the channel was no longer available.  If we had not complained via chat, I suspect no monetary compensation for the loss of this access would have been offered.  

Comcast/Xfinity routinely increases the "Broadcast fees" portion of our billing, so we are skeptical of the claim that the company is looking out for customer interest during this negotiation with Scripps.  

While we are longtime Comcast/Xfinity customers, please be aware that we are considering canceling Comcast/Xfinity cable and are actively exploring alternatives in order to access TV programming.  You are likely to lose our business.
