Re "Comcast stiffs fans of classic movies" (Editorial Notebook, Feb. 7): It is heartening to see the outrage at Comcast's arrogantly and surreptitious price increase for Turner Classic Movies (TCM). If a subscriber did not happen to look at the fine print in a bill a few months ago, the change would have been a total surprise).
TCM is the classiest cable channel on the air and reminds me of a time when TV showed genuinely classic movies. TCM is a national treasure. It represents what cable promised at one time, good TV viewing without commercial interruption. The solution to Comcast's problem should be to make TCM available to everyone in Northern California (and get rid of some of the other stations), rather than making it less accessible.
