Scripp’s

We are deeply disappointed that Scripps and Xfinity have failed to resolve your contract dispute. Every day this drags on, you are not just losing a channel — you are losing customers. Our loyalty to both of your businesses is not unconditional, and this standoff is testing it. Respected companies do not hold their viewers hostage over negotiating failures. Resolve this now, before your customers resolve it for you by walking away permanently.

@user_wit07e 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.

Fix it. I can always get nbc channels—I don’t always have to do that trough Comcast/Xfinity.

Been an xfinity customer since 1999, but if this doesn't get resolved REAL SOON, I have no problem walking away from Xfinity. Their pricing has gotten out of control over the years anyway, and honestly service has gotten worse. So might be time for a change.

This is exactly my sentiment! We pay way too much already for xfinity  services that are provided by other platforms and providers at less expensive monthly fees. My bill is way over my comfort level. I’ve been with Comcast/xfinity for 35 years. I’ve been a loyal customer, paying more than most, and now this latest dispute with Scripps is my last straw. It’s on me now, can’t complain if I remain with xfinity.
I definitely cannot wrap my head around how our fee would increase , when we already pay so much. Don’t feel this is an attempt to “look out for their existing customers” as they pretend. 
im out!

This is ridiculous. There was no notification that we would be losing programming. As much as I pay for Xfinity, I should be able to watch free local channels. Get your act together Xfinity, there are many other options out there and this pushes me (and probably many others) to look into them.

@XfinityKassie​ Wow so your really going to sit there and tell us with a straight face no one knew the contract was ending? If no one knew how were you in negotiations which ultimatly failed?

I agree! I tried calling Xfinity but when it was all said & done I got a one time $30 discount on each of my cable bill & mobile! When my cable is $330 & mobile is $260 it doesn’t make a big difference. I’m in the process of find a different alternative!

Fiber optics with streaming are beginning to look really good.  Been with Xfinity since 1998.  Really has gotten ugly lately.
