Comcast to lose NFL Network?

I would think negotiations are ongoing. Both sides have a significant stake in things and working out a deal would be beneficial for all.


This has happened before, not long ago Comcast almost lost FOX but at the last minute they got a deal done. I doubt NFL Network will go anywhere. They are required to run these messages by law and I am sure an agreement will be reached in time

I upgraded two seperate times specifically to get..then to keep it when they bundled it in a sports package..taking it away from normal digital..

Comcast is nothing but a group of insincere banditos..they sold me the upgrade based on the programming..I am thinking of going to the States Attorney's office to find out if I can sever my agreement ...they suck

But I do really like the new Baseball Ch.


That was something that NFL Network made Comcast do. They didn't like the fact that they were giving it away for free.

Cable nickels and dimes you each month w/o notice. My DTV bill is constant to the penny for the last 10 yrs. Oh by the way, cable applied and was approved by congress to raise their rates this year and now screwing you by removing the NFL channel and they don't have the MLB channel either!

I've found DirecTV's customer service to be hit or miss. For the most part, I like it though. If you get a good customer service rep, they will try to appease any complaint by giving you free HBO, SHOWTIME, FLIX or whatever. I once even almost got free Season Ticket for like the final 3 or 4 weeks of the season. They will also take $5 or $10 off your bill for anywhere between 6 months to a year. In all my years with them, I've always had some form of discount on my monthly bill. They are pretty good about trying to keep customers.

i agree with the rate increase thing because they are constantly raising their rates. They do have the MLB channel now though

Comcast will screw you any chance they get I had NFL network ,then they took it off, and then made me pay to have it..(I SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRANDFATHERED AND HAD IT FOR FREE)

i am very frustrated

I have comcast and when I called and said Verison is in my front yard and putting in Vios.....I got a $50 discount a month for the next year.

I left Comcast about 5 years ago for Dish Network and have not had any complaints or problems. Best of all, after watching my cable bill go up every few months without an increase in the service I was paying for, it's been great to watch my Dish bill not only stay the same, but occasionally add channels without paying a penny extra. My Dish bill is now cheaper than the cable bill was 5 years ago. If I had stuck with cable, I'd be paying at least $20 more per month right now than my Dish bill.

I even get Comcast Sportsnet on Dish, along with MASN, MASN2, Big10, NFL Network, CBS College Sports network, a ton of ESPNs and a few other sports channels. :D

I can still watch Redskins Nation every night and watch Kelli Johnson go to Randy Thomas' house for BBQ grilling lessons on Sportsnite. :D

hah i did the same thing. i gave them the old verizon bait. they took a little over $50 off/month. they threw in free hbo, showtime, and cinemax. but to be honest, i watch nfl network 1/3 of the time i watch tv.
