Why are free movies suddenly not free

Why are movies On Demand, that were free earlier , now say Free With Subscription.  This includes channels like TCM...  There  are no  free movies.. What is going on?

I'm getting something similar with TCM, which is part of my channel lineup. Tonight suddenly the TCM movies listed in the "On Demand" free movies section say "Free with Subscription" and want a rental fee. Geez, you just raised your prices AGAIN and now you're trying to charge for something that's supposed to be free?

Was watching tv shows on demand last week that we’re free now today went to watch same shows and now they ALL say free with subscription and if I want to watch I need to rent? What changed in a few days?

I'm having the same problem of free movies On Demand now saying "subscription required." Spent 45 minutes on phone with Xfinity support and still not solved.

I am having the same problem.  I am on the "free movies" section on demand, but when I click play it takes me to a third party (like Peacock) to subscribe so not free at all.  Very frustrating!
