Cable TV's Struggle with Rising Costs
One of the primary drivers of cord-cutting is the increasing cost of traditional cable TV subscriptions. A prime example is Comcast, which now charges over $55 a month in some areas for local channels like ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC, along with Regional sports networks (RSNs). These fees are significantly impacting the advertised base package prices, often pushing the actual cost to over $100 per month.
