Guys,
I think that what Disney saw was that there was too much repetition already on National Geographic Wild, that could be found on National Geographic, so they dropped that channel. There has been a lot of negative customer feedback about the removal of National Geographic Wild. Due to this negative feedback about the removal of this channel, maybe Spectrum could perhaps work out an agreement with Disney to put it in the optional but excellent Entertainment View plan for $12/mo. (Entertainment View might go up to something like $12.50/mo.) Or just return it to Spectrum Select and higher packages. Customers might have to pay a slight rate increase for the return of that channel, say 80 cents more per month. However, there has been a lot of people missing that particular station, more so than any of the other seven channels removed. Keep leaving your feedback about the channel, and specifically why you would like to see its return? What made National Geographic Wild different and unique over National Geographic, where that channel should be returned to Spectrum line-ups?

I am with some of you. I could care less about sports or ESPN. But I loved National Geographic Wild. It was the best, Critter Fixers, Dr. Oakley, Dr. Pol....all these great animal programs. I pay too much to have Spectrum to be able to afford any extra Disney Streaming crap. Why pay for both? Not fair.

I have TV Choice with Entertainment View, NatGeo Wild was the best channel in Entertainment View. I understand the 8 channels we lost aren't coming back, but Spectrum could give us 8 comparable channels in there place. Adding INSP would be one good channel to add. After I got TV Choice and found out it wasn't in that package I called and asked if it was a channel option. Rep said No, but its popular, a lot of customers ask for it.

I am beyond upset that they have dropped Nat Geo Wild. My favorite shows were the vet shows like Dr Pol, Dr. Oakley and Critter Fixers. So sick of the big conglomerates getting their way and not thinking about the people who made them big. I am thinking of switching to UTube TV or AT&T for mycable.

When Spectrum sent a message saying how much better our service will be, new routers, new modems..and then by the way they said there will be new tiers of programming. With these two titans holding us all hostages all about their greed. Nat geo wild is a favorite, what I watch all the time. It’s informative, it’s nonviolent, its infuriating. Instead of writing Spectrum to give us a credit, just give it back, with Hulu or whatever.

I'm upset about losing NAT Geo Wild, that's our go to channel, 60% of the time. I've called to complain 3 times, today I was not given any options. I don't think my pocket should be the one you rob for Disney and still not get all channels. I know in January we will pay more for whatever you reached with Disney. They can Stream You Tube Dr Pol, for free. Why pay $12.99 for Disney.
Spectrum and Disney has made this bed let them both Lay in it. I'm trying to find another TV services, and I know I will. Disney is now making threats to Dish, Direct TV, as if it's a hostage takeover. Disney, you have dug yourself a deeper hole, and the Bunny (Spectrum) jumped right in it. Let's just move on from Spectrum, they need to learn the hard way loose $.

Not only am I very upset at the loss of Nat Geo Wild, I am disappointed in Spectrum and how they strung their customers along only to find out it wasn't included an any package. I am looking around for another tv service. My bill went up quite a bit for channels I NEVER watch while taking away the ones I do enjoy.
Not the only issue with Spectrum. I have the TV app on my phone only to have it not work 2 steps outside my door. My "high speed internet" has been throttled down too. Now at 30mbs. Corporate greed at its finest.

We lost a few Disney channels with the new agreement. But Disney+ and ESPN+ won't be available to Spectrum subscribers for many months to come.
Do we get a rebate/rate reduction during this period? I'm paying for Disney channels I no longer get. During the negotiation period, subscribers were able to request a $15 rebate for lost channels. Is that still available?

I am absolutely livid that I no longer have access to Nat Geo Wild. I am not paying for another freaking streaming service. These streaming services are quite expensive when you add them all together and even more so when you only watch one show per streaming service. I absolutely hate that my favorite channel is no longer available to me.
I watch 3 channels on Spectrum: Nat Geo Wild, Heroes & Icons (for Star Trek), and the Game Show Network, but mostly Nat Geo Wild.
No other channel has Dr. Pol, Dr. Oakley, Heartland Docs, Critter Fixers, The Wizard of Paws, along with numerous shows no longer in production.

I posted last week and am still livid about the loss of Nat Geo Wild. The shows we lost were entertaining and comforting.

Yes, LIVID about the loss of Nat Geo Wild. Do not have internet to stream, AND do not want to stream. How about putting it back on oldschool cable for oldschool people! Greedy, greedy, Disney. Shame on you!

Pure clean family entertainment Nat Geo Wild. Best channel. Sick of paying 100"s of dollars for poor excuses of reality shows. The quality of this cable network gets worse everyday.

Is there a cost-friendly way to get National Geographic Wild besides subscribing to a streaming site? Have 2 people in my household who cannot use streaming devices

Lost the best channel on tv. Why wasn't it included in deal with Disney? No one wants to spend more just to add one channel they already had! Lousy deal all around.

We've been customers of Spectrum since the Roadrunner days, Cable, Internet, Landline & Mobile. The recent debacle of removing NatGeo Wild is giving us serious thoughts about moving to TDS when they offer service in New Berlin, WI. We're not ESPN fans, and hope your future decisions count your loyalty customers' inputs.
