Regional sports fee
Still peeved by this. Last night I missed the Phillies/Dodgers game because Comcast decided to air it on Apple TV. So what am I paying for with the Regional Sports Fee? I did get a reply (maybe AI) when I complained but it was useless. Sorry, for over $230 a month this is outrageous and unnecessary.

Concern moved here to the Billing help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us about this concern.
Over the course of the MLB's season, nationally televised games may air on FOX, ESPN, FS1, FS2, TBS and the MLB Network. Local blackouts of national networks are common because virtually all games are televised in each team's local market either on a local broadcast station or regional cable network. These local/regional airings are never blacked out. This means you'll rarely miss your home team games. You may just need to change the channel to find the game you're looking for.
For an additional fee, you can purchase the MLB Extra Innings pay per view (PPV) package, a collection of most of the televised games from other markets. Most games in the MLB Extra Innings package that are subject to blackout are those also carried by your local station/regional cable network.
