Montgomery County (MD) cable provider, Comcast, is dropping FoxNews from its Basic Service as of March 1. To get "fair and balanced" news coverage in this area, it will cost an additional charge of $32.22/month. Let Comcast Cable (P O Box 17461, Baltimore, MD 21297) know you want FoxNews to remain on Basic Service.

If it were me, I'd drop Comcast and get a dish -- and I'd let Comcast know exactly why they lost me as a customer.

I've had FOX News access for years-- and it's never been basic service.

Hey, maybe they'll give you HBO in your basic package to replace it. Then you can watch 48 Hours w/ Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte three times a week!

Bastards!

Now I'm not so upset I let my cable service go, to save money.

They do need a massive phone call barrage, though....

P.S. My curse was not directed towards you, BTW. Sorry if I gave that impression. Welcome to FR. A word of caution... watch out for cats around here. They have sharp claws and are entirely unpredictable.

If Comcast here in Richmond jacks the price on me to retain the FoxNewsChannel, it'll give me all the reason I need to get rid of cable altogether...MUD

I despise them and their rip off priced cable internet access. They suck.

Anyone with full cable and/or basic satellite is going to pay $28-45 a month.

I pay $12.50 for "basic" cable of which I have no clue as to what it offers. And I pay another $30 for "enhanced cable".

All I know is I pay $42.50 a month for all the channels I get and that includes a free HBO and Showtime channel. Sounds fair enough. I know I'd spend as much or more with a satellite that I can't install anyway (apartment facing the wrong way) and I use the cable modem.

While I cannot speak for everyone, I'm very sorry for your treatment on this thread. Please try to understand that the moderators are under a lot of time constraints and they try to do the best they can. It's not an easy job, and sometimes the innocent suffer.
