And that’s despite Comcast shedding 370,000 video subscribers nationwide last year and losing 151,000 subscribers the year before that, he added.
“As subscribers drop, those PEG dollars fall, and that’s an impact for sure in our revenue and for any of our communities,” he said.
In Denver, which lost its public-access channel in December after it didn’t renew its contract with long-time operator Denver Open Media, the city’s cable fees bucked the trend and saw fees increase between 2012 to 2017. That could be due to population growth or higher prices.
But another reason was newcomer CenturyLink, which began offering Prism TV service in the city in 2015. Last year, however, CenturyLink began winding down its TV service, and the city received nearly $1.2 million less in 2018.
