The Buffalo News Digital Subscription Investigation

Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating The Buffalo News for promo-to-full-price auto-renewals.

What The Buffalo News Readers Report

  • Intro deals that roll into full price with limited notice.
  • Friction in finding or completing online cancellation.
  • Confusing renewal windows on longer initial terms.

Why Readers Should Be Concerned

State auto-renewal statutes (e.g., NY GBL §527-a) often require timely renewal notices and accessible online cancellation. Inadequate disclosures may be deceptive under UDAP laws.

Signs You May Be Affected

  • A steep, unexpected price jump after a promo term.
  • No clear advance renewal notice.
  • Difficulty cancelling via the account portal.
