Broadcast Fee increasing from $37.55 to $48.15?
Has anyone received any emails stating how the "Broadcast Fee" will be increasing to $48.15/month?
I received multiple emails last month in reference to the "Xfinity StreamSaver Pricing Update" jumping from $15 to $17 but nada, zip, zilch for this next increase!
Is this a prank? I can't even find any announcement(s) via a google search.
DUDE!!!

There was no announcements that I know of. I got my latest statement today, with the upcoming price increases, and I was shocked at how big the broadcast tv fee went up. They have added multiple channels here locally, but I think the increase is a bit excessive.

Comcast is using this as a sleazy way to up your monthly cost despite promising fixed costs when you agree to a contact. Comcast's costs aren't going by anywhere near what they increase your bill by. There are class action law suits alleging fraud against Comcast over this. I hope they take greedy Comcast down. I have been a customer for almost 3 decades. That will end when my "fixed cost" contract is over

The Broadcast TV fee is an itemized charge on Limited Basic and legacy Xfinity TV tiers and based on the costs of providing the local broadcast stations that Xfinity carries on cable systems in each area. These costs include fees that broadcast stations charge Xfinity to carry them on cable systems, fees that are among the fastest growing components of the company's programming costs.
