Scripps

When will Scripps channels be available again and why are customers not being given a credit since Xfinity is not providing the service I am paying for.

Right now, channels from E. W. Scripps Company are unavailable due to ongoing negotiations. We’re working to reach an agreement that allows us to bring those channels back while also keeping costs from increasing for customers. At this time, we don’t have a confirmed timeline for when they’ll return.

 

As for credits, they aren’t automatically applied for individual channel changes tied to these types of negotiations. We know this isn’t ideal, and we truly appreciate your patience while this is being worked through.

“We know this isn’t ideal,” is a galactic understatement.  Xfinity is not providing the service I pay for each month regardless of the type of negotiation.  As usual, you set an unparalleled standard of ineptitude and greed when dealing with your customers.  I pay what amounts to a mid-level car payment now and I’d be willing to bet that when and if the issue with Scripps is resolved, I’ll be forced to pay more.  Seems like it’s time to move on.

I live in Tallahassee, Fl and lost quite a few channels that I normally watch.  I called Xfinity to see about a credit on my bill and it fell on deaf ears. I am really [Edited: "Language"] and don't think that this is the correct way to deal with you customers!

This "dispute" is  [Edited: "Language"] with Scripps.  Again the customer suffers while big companies chase profit over customers. Xfinity needs to feel the pain with lost customers which might wake them up. Not only did we lose ABC but 2 other channels as well yet bills continue to rise for less channels. Classic Xfinity game that is past getting old. Stand and pony up for your customers for once. Better be careful X as you may wake up one day to find you have none. Then its TOO LATE!! For once take care of your life blood: CUSTOMERS!!

As soon as fiber is available in our neighborhood, we're dropping xfinity. High prices, saying your cost is locked in for five years, and then they increase your bill $10 for equipment rental. $10 more a month for old equipment. Come on, T-Mobile!

This is what i've heard from Xfinity. Nothing proactive that i can see.

Comcast is proactively issuing credits to some Xfinity Video customers who lost programming due to the EW Scripps contract expiration and who also pay an itemized Broadcast TV (BTV) Fee. Credit amounts range from $1.70 - $9.62 based on different customer scenarios. Only customers who pay a BTV fee are eligible for a credit. The following customers will not receive a credit: • Customers who didn’t lose any EW Scripps programming • Customers who only lost ION channels • Xfinity Communities customers in locations where TV is provided by the property • Note: Xfinity Communities customers with property-provided internet service who add video services separately may qualify • Courtesy service accounts • Customers with Next Gen Xfinity TV tiers, including TV Core, TV Plus, TV Premium, Sports & News TV, and World Soccer Ticket Eligible customers will receive a credit on May 1, or on the customers’ next billing cycle. 

Their next response: The credits will go out on June 1st, so you won't see it till you get your June 27th billing statement.
