Marquee

As Marquee Sports Network joins our channel lineup, the Regional Sports Network fee will increase by $6.20 on October 1, 2020.

Wow! I knew it would go up, but I was thinking the sports and entertainment or regional sports might go up $2. $6.20 is a BIG jump. I still may have to look at other options before next season because I doubt other cable providers went up that much. And 6 weeks after the launch we STILL can't watch it on the marquee app because all it says for xfinity is "coming soon". If they want to justify a $6.20 increase, they better get it streaming before then

I will 100% be dropping Comcast if you do.

How's about making it optional?

Comcast has raised the regional sports network fee by $6.20 a month ($75 a year) due to adding Marque Network. I just called and was able to have the channel and fee removed from my bill, but it was not without pushaback. Explain that this network and fee was added without consent. You have an even greater case if you have a fixed contract. I encourage everyone to contest and cancel the network.

i am in the process on contesting this charge also that's for the info.

Are you also complaining about the charge for Comcast sports net? Should that be an option too? That cost over $8.00 a month. Cable is not a pick and choose option. I don’t watch probably 20 to 30 channels on my plan. I can’t get them off. I would be very surprised if xfinity took that one channel off and the charge that comes with it. Maybe they reduced a bill because they renegotiated. But I doubt they took off just one channel and I r $6.20 charge. If you don’t like the price leave. That is the only option.

I've also been attempting to have this removed - but running into brick walls.  Who did you call?  Or should I contest it at a store?

Thanks!

[andyross]

The only way to remove it is to DOWNGRADE your service to a tier that does not include it. That will probably mean losing many other channels you like to watch. It's deliberately set up that way.

has anybody else had the issue that since the beginning of November when they turn to channel 202 (Marquee sports network) they get  a message that the channel is not avaliable? I have called customer service multiple times and they have assured me that my package does include the channel but it is not coming in.

Is there an error code?

Now that the baseball season has ended, why do I have to pay an additional $6.20/month for the Regional Sports Fee for adding the useless Marquee Channel?

[CCAndrew]

Because it’s spread over 12 months not by the season
