The new price increase will see some Spectrum TV customers shelling out around $21 a month for their local ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and PBS stations that can often be received for free with an antenna.Ĭharter says Spectrum customers who are on a promotional plan will not see their prices increase until the end of the promotional period. “We value our customers and are committed to providing them with the latest products and technology.”Ĭharter customers already pay a broadcast fee of around $17 a month, after the company raised it by $3 in March.


“At Charter, we work hard to keep prices as low as possible,” a Charter spokesperson wrote in a notice to customers that was seen by The Desk this week. Affected video plans include Spectrum Stream TV and Spectrum TV Choice. The price increase is tied to a broadcast television fee that Charter imposes on customers who receive local channels as part of their video services. Late last month, Charter began issuing notices to customers of its Spectrum-branded video services warning that the price of their programming packages will go up by at least $4 a month.
