The EPB Building is located at the corner of Market Street and MLK Blvd.EPB will raise prices on all TV customers starting January 2015, a rate hike that will result in increases ranging from $2 to $9 per customer, the utility said in a news release.
The utility has previously discussed such a rate hike, noting that content providers continue to raise prices to deliver TV channels, a proposition that is usually presented to EPB as a “take it or leave it” deal, officials said.
Other television providers such as Comcast, Charter and AT&T U-Verse typically raise prices in the beginning of each year for similar reasons.
EPB’s bronze TV package currently costs $12.99, with its silver and gold tiers coming in at $59.99 and $71.99 respectively.
The cost of add-ons such as premium channels, HD service, the utility’s sports package, and the company’s equipment and service charges will remain the same, said Greg Eaves, executive vice president for EPB.
