Scripps and Comcast (Xfinity) are in the midst of a nationwide carriage dispute. Neither side wins here. Scripps is likely looking for a big increase to help its beleaguered balance sheet. There's really no justification for much of an increase, but this could provide an impetus for Comcast subscribers to 'cut the cord'. Networks likely are losing viewers in the midst of this as OTA reception isn't always viable.
