The ongoing conflict between Comcast and the YES Network escalates as YES CEO Jon Litner announced that the network will cease broadcasting for Comcast subscribers at midnight. Comcast aims to shift YES to a pricier digital tier while YES insists on remaining on the basic cable package. Litner criticized Comcast for perceived preferential treatment toward its networks, emphasizing that their negotiations have been unproductive and likening Comcast's approach to past tactics against MSG Networks.
"Despite our attempts to negotiate a new carriage agreement with them, Comcast has refused to negotiate. Instead, they have informed us that they will drop the YES Network from their programming lineup Monday night at midnight."
"They are demanding that YES move to a more expensive, digital package that will cost you, its loyal customers, $20 more per month, while continuing to give their own networks, including SNY, preferential treatment."
