When will ABC stations be reinstated?

I sure hope Comcast is working on getting an agreement with Scripps Broadcasting here in Michigan. The loss of the ABC stations means I have to find other ways to view them. Once I do that, I will learn I don't need to rely on Comcast. Additionally, customers should be seeing a reduction in our monthly rate now that you've eliminated channels that were in our package.

I just switched to Xfinity and now this?  I thought this would have been resolved by now. Do something to get back on track.

I’m ready to cancel xfinity for this reason. I don’t want to watch good morning America or any news show the next day. This isn’t about the customer, because of it was, xfinity should give the customer the option to pay extra like any other channel. I believe this is about them making money, so fed up after years of being a customer. Shame on xfinity!

This is about lining their pockets and not the cost to consumer. Why don’t they give the option to pay extra like all the other channels? I don’t want to watch a news program the next day. So fed up after years of being a customer. Disgusting! Shame on Xfinity!

I agree.   Send us a huge credit! This has gone on too long.  Negotiations should have taken place long before the expiration of the agreement!

The loss of ABC is a major problem. We watched the ABC News every day. Also, we took measures to reduce our Xfinity bill a year ago and yet the prices just keep quickly going back up. All the money we are paying and the DVR does not work consistently on the play back. Time to look elsewhere.

Hi @user_hr92u5 E. W. Scripps cable network programming is currently unavailable as our agreement with E. W. Scripps has expired. Please know we pay programmers to bring you the entertainment you love, and a number of reasonable offers have been made and they haven’t been 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.

Will customers be getting a refund for the cost of what we are paying for the ABC channel that you no longer offer?

user_838o2u, that is a great question. Right now, the answer is no, we would not be offering a credit. https://www.xfinity.com/programmingchanges

Totally agree!! Many are switching to other means, direct tv, Verizon. I’m waiting patiently but not sure how much longer. For all the money we pay for Comcast each month, this is absolutely ridiculous that the free stations are gone. Comcast does not hesitate to raise our fee for other things so I am not sure what the problem is here. I don’t want to pay more money, of course, but the fact that I am paying more than ever AND have lost channels is unacceptable!

This better be resolved or I want a refund of our fees.  This was in our contract for covered channel when we signed up with Xfinity.  Maybe just go back to AT & T.  They weren't to bad, not even sure why my husband switched it.  Missing all my regular programs is really [Edited: "Language"]!!!!!
