Scripps/ABC Contract
When will the Scripps contract be finalized? And are you issuing credits to customers. I fail to understand why xfinity could not anticipate the contract end and negotiate a fair price in advance to provide continuity of service to customers. The subscription rate is already outrageous. This inconvenience is one more reason for me to seek entertainment elsewhere.

Good evening @user_alee0r, and thank you for reaching out on our Community Forums, we appreciate it. On March 31, 2026, Comcast’s agreement with E. W. Scripps to carry its programming expired.
Comcast compensates programmers to deliver the entertainment, news, and sports our customers value. We work to negotiate fair and reasonable terms to ensure the best value for customers, especially given the many ways content can be accessed today. While Comcast has made multiple reasonable proposals, E. W. Scripps has not accepted them. We continue working toward an agreement that would allow this programming to return under fair pricing and terms for our customers.
For additional details, please visit: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/ew-scripps-agreement-expired.
Comcast is proactively issuing credits to some Xfinity Video customers who:
Credit amounts range from $1.70 to $9.62, depending on individual customer circumstances.
Please note:
Eligible customers will receive their credit on May 1 or on their next billing cycle.

I’m thinking about leaving Comcast/Xfinity altogether. I pay too much not to have ABC one of my main channels. This has forced me to consider other ways to watch.
