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!

It's been a month now and Xfinity loyal customers need and deserve answers now. When will our stations be returned? Where is the transparency? I never had a clue I was losing FOX 47 until an email 5 minutes AFTER it went off the air. I have received no correspondence sense with updates. I have been a customer 30 plus years and pay exorbitant fee to you and I deserve better....

All of your customers do

I have been a Comcast customer for over 25 years and this is the first time I have ever dealt with anything like this. I am a huge fan of CBS especially when it comes to my weather information. When we had these last storms come though I was very uneasy due to the fact that I could not leave my TV on news channel 5 to get the latest weather updates. It is time for Comcast to suck it up and pay the difference and NOT charge their customers any differently. WE AS COMCAST CUSTOMERS PAY WAYYYY MORE THAN ENOUGH AND DO NOT DESERVE THIS!!!!
