Baby First Channel

Hello,

I would really like to have the Babyfirst channel...I know Comcast provides that channel with any package. I think Verizon customers should be able to have access to this channel as well as its the only channel that provides infants with educational television.

That is not true about Comcast, Baby First is only available in it's 2 highest (i.e. most expensive, Digital Preferred and Digital Premier) tiers.

I am on the Preferred plan with Verizon and I feel as though Verizon should provide all channels Comcast provides; even if it needs to be a special request. Comcast is Verizons biggest compettitor and with that being said I should have no problems getting channels I request!

Few comments:

1) No provider gives you that option. There are channels that Verizo has that Comcast does not. They don't offer the option to get those.

2) It costs a cable provider money to provide a channel. They have to pay for hardware to connect to the content provider. I have to believe that is not cheap. If only a few customers want it, would you be willing to pays $$ for it?

3) Content providers to not provide contracts that all for single viewers (groupled as a la carte). They need the income provided by charging for everyone that subscribes to the packages their channels are carried in.

It does not work that way and CROB is absolutely correct.

I have a 9 month old and plan to keep her on the Baby first programing for a while. We plan on having another kid in a few years. I am currently witth FIOS for for phone and internet and the only thing holding me back from a complete transfer is this channel. Based on 1 channel they have lost revenue for years ( because we watched beforehand for almost 2 years to make sure that is what we approve for a newborn). Add it and more revenue to FIOS and less for Directv. I know i'm not the only one too.
