When will the Xfinity/Scripps standoff end?

It has been nearly a month, beginning March 31st, since subscribers nationwide have lost numerous TV stations that we have paid for/are still paying to receive.  Depending on one's market, affected stations include one or more of the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX) plus any one or more of a number of specialty stations (GRIT, Court TV, Laff TV, Bounce TV, ION+, ION Mystery).

And while some of these stations are available by using an over the air antenna, streaming apps, or through the station's website, that doesn't help those of us who routinely DVR our programs to watch at a more convenient time and/or to skip commercials.

It's beyond time that Xfinity resolves this issue and gives us the full range of TV stations we are, and have been, paying for!

@rjc1247E. 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.

I know all about <https://www.xfinity.com/programmingchanges>, however that does not address my question.   When will full services be restored?

Furthermore, I would like to formally request credit for the services I am no longer receiving since March 31st.

@rjc1247 Credits will automatically be applied to customers bills who lost programming due to the E.W. Scripps contract expiration and who also pay an itemized broadcast TV fee. Eligible customers will receive a credit on May 1st or on your next billing cycle. 

 

Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with. How's your internet service working out for you?
