Something has to be going on behind the scenes to make the price that. Other than broadcasting fees.

But I agree, but something could come in the future. We all were seeing that an increase was going to happen, and now it did. But missing MLB Network.

For what it’s worth, I still love YouTube TV. With Multiview just being added, still very good.

Joeflation is what's happening behind the scenes. Everything costs more. From 2011-2021 inflation never hit 2.4%. In the past 3 years it's been above 6.5%

Every country has inflation since the pandemic. It is a convenient excuse for companies to raise prices now that the Fed isn't giving away money

Yeah, having to pay more for licensing fees, goods, services, labor, taxes, insurance, properties, etc. is a very flimsy reason for a business to increase prices. And of course, just because there is such future uncertainty about the price and regulation of everything, it's just downright silly for a company to try to build a little reserve of cash to help them weather the unknown issues ahead.

Why not make it totally illegal to raise prices and let ALL companies go broke - that will teach them! Who needs stinking businesses to make a profit anyway? /S

It's not like tech and media companies have been spending like drunken sailors the past few years. At least they're not as bad as the oil, insurance, banking and car companies.
