Broadcast Surcharges

I noticed the Broadcast surcharges jumped from $10.00 to $13.50.  How does Cox justify a 35% increase?  I noticed from online posts that the broadcast surcharge was only $4.00 in the beginning of 2018.  Is cox claiming that their rates have more than tripled in the last 2 years?  Or, are you just charging the customers whatever you want for profit?  I've never seen anything increase in cost by more than 300% in 2 years.  This is crazy!

      Seems to me that Steve72's original question fit's the 'exchange ideas and get information' aspect of these forums. 

      It's a valid question that more than a few users wonder about. On top of that (and just checked my last statement) my surcharge was $10.00 (still question why). I'm in the Northeast market.

        maybe the the local channels raised the fees for cox to carry them, so they raised customer prices
