When are we getting NBC back??

How long is Xfinity and Scripps going to hold our NBC station hostage? Xfinity claims they want to keep our service affordable, but $300 a month for poor choices of stations and frequent price increases for no reason is NOT affordable in any way! I'm looking at alternatives NOW

Good Morning, @user_j9w5w7! Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to us here on the Xfinity Forums. I do completely understand the frustrations, and I do apologize about the inconvenience. You will receive an updated information if the programs become available again. 

 

Comcast pays programmers to bring customers the entertainment, information, and sports they want. Comcast works to negotiate fair terms in order to ensure the greatest value for customers, given all the ways content can be accessed today. A number of reasonable offers have been made that E. W. Scripps hasn’t accepted. Comcast continues to work towards making this programming available again with fair pricing and terms for our customers.

I know what exfinity is doing.  They want to push getting streaming bundles so the consumer can get the channels they had for more money.  And when they charge you for a new modem to handle the extra streaming traffic, you’re doubly [Edited: "Language"] .

@user_kycfqt The NBC issue is related to ongoing negotiations with Scripps broadcasting to carry their content. We always hate to lose content people love. But I can assure you we are not doing so to push you to pay for a 3rd party streaming that we are competing with. Also, all of our internet plans include the modem for no extra charges now.

The contract between Xfinity & Scripps should have been negotiated and settled prior to the expiration of their contract. We have been without NBC, a major network for one week now with no settlement in sight. We are paying for a service that we are not fully receiving. Please solve this ASAP or we may have to seek other alternatives.

Will we get credit for the time we’re losing?
