Broadcast TV, Sports & Entertainment Network Surcharges
Programming fees paid to networks and sports channels, plus retransmission fees demanded by local broadcasters comprise the largest cost in our business. These fees are growing at an alarming rate - faster than RCN and other distributors can absorb.To help offset just a portion of these rapidly escalating fees, RCN has adjusted the following:
- Broadcast TV Surcharge of $9.03 applies to all Digital TV packages.
- Sports Surcharge of $7.82 applies to all RCN cable packages with Signature Digital TV, Premiere and/or Sports Package tiers.
- Entertainment Networks Surcharge of $7.10 reflects a portion of the rapidly escalating charges demanded by entertainment networks such as AMC, Discovery, Comcast/NBC Universal, Scripps, Viacom, Turner, ABC/Disney/ESPN and others. This surcharge applies to RCN cable packages with Signature Digital TV, Premiere or Movies & Entertainment, News & Information and/or Children & Family tiers.
- Municipal Construction Surcharge is $2.99 in New York and Chicago. This surcharge does not apply to other areas.
