Spectrum Raising Broadcast TV and Equipment Fees in March

Phillip Dampier February 16, 2022 Charter Spectrum, Consumer News 32 Comments

Effective March 18, 2022 the cost of Spectrum’s “Broadcast TV Fee,” charged to cable television customers, will increase $3, reaching an unprecedented $21 a month, just to cover the carriage of local, over the air television stations. The Broadcast TV Fee was last raised to $17.99 in June 2021. The summer before that, the fee increased by nearly $3 a month as well. This means the average surcharge for local, over the air stations, is going up an average of $36 a year at Spectrum.

Equipment fees are also increasing by another $1 a month, to $9.99 per HD set-top cable box. Spectrum has been regularly increasing the cost of equipment rentals since its 2016 merger with Time Warner Cable. Charter Communications argued that one of the merger benefits was a promised reduction in the monthly cost of set-top equipment. Immediately after the merger deal was approved, the company charged $4.99 a month for each set-top box. But rates began rising almost immediately. In mid-2017, the rental price was raised to $5.99 a month, and in early 2018, it increased another $1 a month for $6.99. In 2020, the price went up another $1 to $7.99 a month, then yet another $1 to $8.99 a month in June 2021. This spring, the price rises another dollar to $9.99 a month.

I have been a Charter subscriber for the last 30 years. I have seen “cable” cost rise constantly. I wish someone would allow us to choose the programing we WATCH and not the millions of programs THEY buy for us to turn away from. We can only watch one program at a time yet they “deliver” programing that is completely useless EXCEPT for the “executives” that decide what will make them the most money buy constantly adding CRAP no one will watch . Spectrum adding OAN to their line up is a slap in the face to anyone other than… Read more »

I have witnessed the cost of “cable” steadily grow. I wish someone would let us pick the shows we WATCH rather than the millions of shows THEY buy for us to ignore.

Starting in March, Spectrum is raising its broadcast TV and equipment fees. This means that customers who subscribe to Spectrum’s TV service will see their monthly bill go up by $7, and those who rent equipment from the company will pay an additional $4 per month. The fee increases come as a result of rising costs for programming and equipment, and they are necessary to ensure that we can continue to provide our customers with the high-quality TV service they expect. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank our customers for their understanding. Credit Silentbio

These continual price hikes can be frustrating for customers who are already paying for cable services. monkey mart

As an ordinary reader, I find it disheartening to learn about Spectrum’s continuous fee increases for broadcast TV and equipment. The new $21 monthly charge for the Broadcast TV Fee seems exorbitant, considering it only covers local channels. It’s like adding dreadhead parkour to an already frustrating situation. Furthermore, the escalating equipment fees contradict the promised reduction after the merger with Time Warner Cable. Starting from $4.99 and now reaching $9.99 per month for HD set-top boxes, these frequent price hikes are disappointing and burdensome for customers.
