Now its Starz network on Wednesday told Comcast Xfinity customers that they will lose access to new episodes of hit shows like. The pending loss of popular TV shows comes as both sides issue competing statements blaming the other for dropped channels amid an escalating carriage dispute.that it will remove 17 Starz channels from its TV packages from Dec. 10, while adding the rival Epix service to its premium offerings.
Epix, which got into the scripted game later than Starz, under Sarhan has touted itself as a lower cost and distributor-friendly alternative for premium TV packages offered by traditional TV players challenged by cord-cutting and rising original content costs. Shares of Lionsgate already plunged in late August amid rumors that Comcast will not renew a pact that makes Starz and Starz Encore available to its cable TV subscribers as part of its main lineup. And Lionsgate vice chairman Michael Burns last month told an investors conference that the upcoming carriage renewal talks with Comcast for its Starz and Starz Encore services could produce a heated battle.
Please no.... I’ve read all of the books and watched every episode faithfully. I pay for this Premium channel via Xfinity and Comcast. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Please reach an agreement for OUTLANDER.
Whyjust why
Hate Comcast if it drops Starz channel from lineup !
OutlanderCostum If I lose my Outlander...Comcast, there will be war!
Xfinity I want STARZ for Cida and movies. Nobody want epix
These Giants are doing worst. You know how many people in The US already been cut cords to cable. If you wanna watch Premium Content, go for streaming. Bc there's an option to cancel anytime. Agreements on cable services are bullshit.
oh no scary
I am a Xfinity Customer and I will say the ONLY starz channel even worth keeping, IMO, is the COMEDY one. Either than that, they all suck. I welcome EPIXHD. Hopefully they have better content.
Well, Comcast Xfinity subscribers already lost access to TCM. That now requires a subscription to a ludicrous SPORTS package. You have to subscribe to an expensive sports package to view a classic film channel. Right. Where do I cut the cord?
stop buying into this bullshit. no one is losing anything. it's a money grab between billion-dollar companies. frame it as such and stop scaring people.
