Xfinity has moved ROOT Sports NW off its basic subscription, resulting in a price increase of $18.50 per month for customers who want to watch the Seattle Kraken, Mariners, or anything on the network. This decision was made by Xfinity, not the Mariners. Teams and the network are unhappy with the price hike, but Xfinity claims they had little choice due to hardball RSN/cable talks happening nationwide. Many fans are frustrated and considering their next steps, as similar situations unfold in other markets. Alternative options for sports fans are being explored as the fading RSN TV model is questioned. This move by Xfinity has also raised concerns about the future of the Blazers' broadcasting business.

Any #SEAKraken fans out there use Xfinity to watch the team on ROOT Sports? Got any opinions on today's price hikes you want to share, good or bad? DM or email me.
Wait. So Xfinity moved @RootSports_NW off its basic subscription? That's wild, and I know a lot of people will want to blame the #Mariners, but honestly that's an Xfinity decision.
NEW: Want to see #SEAKraken, Mariners or anything on ROOT Sports NW if you have Xfinity? Well, that's rising $18.50/month. Teams and network are not happy but Xfinity left them little choice as hardball RSN/cable talks play out nationwide. https://t.co/ewLWTkZmHe #Kraken #NHL
.@ZacharyLeonsis told @byajperez that buying out NBCUniversal's remaining stake in Monumental Sports Network was a chance to "play offense" amid the implosion of the RSN model. https://t.co/3JeKPT4DLA
