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

Don't give up and when your fixed priced ends, definitely give them a call then or now for that matter, and ask them what other discounts do you qualify for!! I just passed out after hearing my new bill amount but then Xfinity Rep offered to see other discount(s) are available and he took care of me!!!!! I am so stinking excited!! You just gotta ask & let them know, you need help! 

1-800-Xfinity!!

@DiamondDea​ I did that and he offered me my same package for $10 a month more than I am paying.

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.

@XfinityMartyR​ Give me a link to where your costs are going up by 25% in one year, like you are raising mine.   Taxes don't go up by 25%.  I feel like you are fleecing us to build revenue off your customer base.  Your competition isn't raising the cost by anywhere close to the same dramatic cost increase.  https://www.techdirt.com/2024/03/22/fcc-outlaws-sleazy-and-misleading-cable-tv-fees/

It's never our intention to inconvenience you with any pricing changes that occur, but we definitely understand the need to keep costs as low as possible in today's climate as well. For more information on our recent changes, please check out xfinity.com/billchanges when you get a chance, and let us know if you have any questions.
