Comcast is large enough to have its way with broadcasters (IMO), so the appearance (excuse?) that the broadcast fees are going up sounds a bit wimpy to me. Push back! Negotiate!
While I really don't want to pay more, I'd rather they say "we need to raise the rates to make more money and meet our corporate revenue objectives." rather than "boo-hoo, the broadcasters stole my ball and I'm going home."
