Understanding TV Costs
Breezeline doesn’t own TV content, so rising fees
from cable networks and broadcasters impact our prices.
Broadcast Fees Have Been on the Rise for Years
For more than a decade, TV stations’ fees to providers such as Breezeline for retransmitting their signals have risen by 24% annually. To put that into perspective, if milk prices had risen at the same rate from 2010 to 2022, a gallon would now cost $42.38.1
Cable Networks have Control over Most Channels
The majority of TV channels are owned by only a handful of cable networks. These networks hold a lot of power over prices that TV providers such as Breezeline have to pay. They also dictate which channels, packages and TV lineups we can offer to our customers.2
The Costs for Live TV Sports Are Unprecedented
Broadcast stations and cable networks are paying billions of dollars to acquire live sports rights. Additionally, the majority of networks bundle their sports channels with their most popular packages, forcing customers to pay for sports programming even when they are not interested.3
Keep Breezeline’s lightning-fast internet, and you’re all set
If you cancel your TV service, you can still use Breezeline Internet to access online streaming platforms and watch sports, news, and more.
