Disappointed to see AXS leaving Fios

Hello - Surprised this hasn’t been posted yet but really disappointed to see AXS TV leaving Fios the end of the year. It has unique programming that cant be found anywhere else on Fios. For me it is the concerts and music specials/documentaries. Who can I voice my disappointment with? Seems so hard to find anyone on Verizon these days to contact with items like this. Thanks and Happy New Year all!

I just found out about this, I guess it's time to start looking at other providers. AXS is one of my go-to channels. There's less and less to keep me with Food.

I constantly wonder how Verizon continues to remove. Hansel’s and services yet the price we pay never seems to go down commensurately. In fact, they seem to only raise prices for a worse product. Always manage to blame the channel providers why conveniently ignoring their customers. Past time for me to get off this ride and cut the cord.

I to am very disappointed with AXS tv leaving the Verizon cable channel line up. AXS is a unique channel that I been watching for years. Also I believe it is an inexpensive channel relative to many other channels offered in my channel package. I very much hope that Verizon and AXS can reach an agreement. I would like Verizon to offer a limited add on or opt out to channels on its packages for its cable subscribers. Why not allow the cable subscriber to opt in or out of two or three channels on his tv package and apply the carriage fee savings from dropping channels to adding a couple of other less expensive channels? I am grandfathered into Verizon's news and sports package and as a whole with AXS tv was an excellent fit for my viewing tastes. Some of the channels are getting very expensive on their carriage fees. ESPN and Fox news come to mind as two of the most expensive channels in tv packages.

I would much enjoy the ability to drop stations such as Fox news and Newsmax that I do not want to support as a viewer or financially and view as more as entertainment and propaganda networks than true news stations. I believe that over the last twenty five years overall objectivity in news reporting has declined while biasedness has sharply increased. I believe many so called news stations should not be characterized as true news stations because they routinely omits news or view points if they do not coincide with its beliefs or its targeted viewership and regularly does not allow spokes people from the other side of an issue to make their opinion known on their channels. Moreover some news stations have or are facing seriously lawsuits concerning their supporting of charges of a lack of election integrity in 2020 and latter. Other news stations that I routinely watch may display biasness but they at least have spokesman from the other side on their stations. Frankly and I would much prefer having the option to remove these expensive unwanted channels from my cable bill and to stop financially supporting them and to add stations such as AXS tv to my cable line up that I much want in my cable subscription.

The number of cable tv subscribers continues to drop and cable subscribers need some limited ability to drop or add channels to a package that they are interested in. If not fewer cable subscribers will be asked to pay more to support expensive channels that they have no or little interest in. I would prefer a true a la carte set up but if it is not workable at least give customers some limited discretion on what is in his cable tv channel bundle. I believe that it would significantly improve Verizon's offerings to its current and potential cable subscribers. I ask others to contact Verizon directly on the loss of AXS tv and the need for some limited add on and delete ability in their cable package.

Totally agree. My husband and I watched the classic rock bands still performing now. Interviews and more. Totally bummed on this one. They could have taken other networks off but, oh well.

AXS didn't "leave" Fios. Their contract was up for renewal at the end of the year and AXS didn't want to pay the same or more to stay on Fios and Verizon didn't want to take the same or less to keep them on Fios. As much as we pay per month for the hand full of decent channels we get, Verizon is doing a disservice to their customers by refusing to negotiate a fair price to keep AXS.

AXS has some of the best music, concerts, movies and entertaining shows on any channels. It is a shame.

I agree. It’s time to think about changing.

I’m getting sick of Verizon. Axs gone. Other channels removed over the last few years. I had Science and AHC removed from my package and was told to pay more if I wanted them back. It’s time to move on I think. Verizon is terrible now.

AXS was one of my go to channels. I’m extremely disappointed it is no longer offered as part of my Fios subscription. Up till now I hadn’t seriously considered giving up cable and going to streaming options. Now I’m actively looking to see what streaming options to cable exist that will afford me the programming choices that I most value.

Probably one of the few of my favorite channels.

No! MTV or other music stations on FIOS don't cut it.

Liked the whole thing, the concerts, interviews, the verbal montages.

Seriously not happy at all.

I might simply vote with my pocketbook.

I waited years for Comcast to add AXS and they finally did just months before I decided to switch to Verizon. And now, I'm waiting again. Please add AXS, Verizon!
