Chicago Sports Network

When will Xfinity add Chicago Sports Network (CHSN) to their channel lineup? I have been a Comcast customer for over 30 years primarily for sports broadcasts. If I cannot watch local broadcasts of Blackhawk and Bulls games then it is time to cut the cord and find a new TV channel provider!

I completely agree.  I only subscribe to Xfinity so I can get my local sports.  Very disappointing that they haven't reached a deal to carry the new CHSN channel.  Sadder that Directv already has a deal in place.  If Xfinity can't seal the deal, then I will be forced to cut the cord like so many others.  May just have to by an antenna.

They don’t care about us loyal customers. All they care about is the almighty dollar.

I so agree with you, Man. For the sum that I shovel over to Xfinity every month, if they think they’re going to subtract Bulls, White Sox and Black Hawks, and I’m just going to keep on paying Xfinity like nothing has changed, all I can say to Xfinity is, Make My Day. And I will be exploring a different alternative for connectivity to my home.

@XfinityDemitrius​ This is such a generic response. These folks live in Chicago and want to watch their local sports. They shouldnt have to "ask" for a local sports channel. If anything it shows incompetence on Comcasts part for not being transparent with their customers on the real reason why CHSN is not on Comcast yet. Ill just say it here. You want CHSN to be on the premium tier AND you want to charge another obnoxious Regional Sports Fee on top of it. Sounds crazy since the channel is FREE to those with a antenna, and live locally. I get a local broadcast fee might need to be upped since everyone wants their buck, but you refuse to put a channel on a basic, or mid level tier. That's just wrong.

Enough is enough. Put a deal together with Chicago Sports Network. I have really had it with you guys. You do not seem to care one iota about customers.

The main reason I continued to keep Xfinity.com cable TV was for local sports. But after this, looks like I'll have to look elsewhere.

THIS IS [Edit: Language]!! I pay a lot for Xfinity products. I pay extra for sports pkgs. Not being able to watch local sports really has me considering switching to another provider. [Edit: Language].

I have given Comcast 200$ plus a month for 16 years. Had to listen to the Bulls game on League Pass I pay for and can't watch local games either. After missing the preseason overtime victory by the Bulls I went online and purchased a outdoor antenna. So today I am getting internet service from another provider and dumping Comcast! THANKS FOR NOTHING AND NOT CARING ABOUT THE CUSTOMER!!!

I completely understand the frustrations, @user_lcl18x! We are always looking to add additional channels for our customers, and we will document the feedback for our team for the want to have the CHSN channel.

It's outrageous that they have not put this deal together.  I talked to someone yesterday at Xfinity and asked how much my bill will be reduced since I have fewer viewing options than I did before.  I'm sure you can guess the answer.  He did say I could move my cell phone to Xfinity and maybe get a bill reduction then.  That's how out of touch they are.  I'm calling to say I'm unsatisfied with the current arrangement and he suggests I give them more business.  He was a nice guy, just trying to do his job, but that was not the suggestion I was looking for.

I refuse to pay the same amount and also buy an antenna.  Even if they do strike a deal with CHSN I may switch anyway just for[Edit: Language] me around.
