Regional Sports Fee

We do not watch any sports. Is it possible to remove sports channels only to save the $9.99 fee?

No. Even though it is billed separately, it is included in your programming package. The only way to remove it is to downgrade to a program package that does not include it.

No, because Regional Sports Channel is already included on the package (Choice, Ultimate, Xtra, Premier) so if you do not want RSC then you need to switch your package to Entertainment that doesn't have RSC.

Hope that answers your question.

As long as you are in a package with RSNs (Choice, Xtra, Ultimate, Premier) you will have the RSN fee.

Family, Select, Entertainment, and Preferred Xtra (if still available) do not have RSNs so do not charge the fee. Personally if they still offer it I would go with Preferred Xtra. Similar channel lineup to Xtra, but without the RSN fee it is similar in total cost to Choice.
