Comcast again treating customers like dirt. They are asking loyal TCM watchers to subsidize football programming, which the providers charge Comcast up the wazoo for. Tell me why I should help pay billionaire football owners to put on a sport that causes brain damage. All I want to do is watch some old movies without constant commercials. I believe (dont know) that TCM is seeing rising viewership, making it more attractive. In a sense TCM is a victim of its own success. Comcast wants you and I to pay more for sports channels many of us dont watch.
This similar to many municipalities in last 30 years that helped subsidize massive football stadiums for the owners. Ask voters nowadays and they say No Way will we pay for this nonsense. Comcast wants us to continue to subsidize the stadiums.
Comcast moved TCM to Sports/Entertainment Package
