Why is my TV bill so high?
Did you know…
- Nine media companies control 95% of the paid video content consumed in the U.S.?
- The average household watches only 16 channels, yet networks package their channels to force you to buy those you don’t want in order to get those that you do?
- Programming network fees account for the bulk of your monthly cable bill?
- The cost of basic cable has risen 3½ times the rate of inflation over the last 15 years because of demands from networks for higher programming fees?
- The networks are able to impose huge fee increases because they do not have a relationship with you? (Your TV provider collects the money for them.)
- One media company honcho recently stated that, “…content is such a fundamental part of daily life that people will give up food and a roof over their heads before they give up TV.” This shows that they have lost their perspective and the demands for huge increases will continue.
