Between 1995 and 2013, the average price of an expanded basic cable package has increased by 6.1% each year, according to the FCC.
Brett Sappington, the director of research at Parks Associates, a Dallas-based market research and consulting firm, told Tech Insider that the primary reason prices keep going up is that the prices companies like Comcast and DirecTV have to pay the networks for content keep going up.
“The cable networks and broadcasters ask for more money, and that really puts a crunch on the pay TV providers,” Sappington said. “At the same time, costs have increased for cable networks and broadcasters to create the content.”
