DISH is raising their TV prices by $5 a month on most plans and adding a regional sports fee in markets that still have a regional sports network.

This price hike was first spotted by the Satelliteguys, a website that tracks everything happening in the world of satellite TV. Here is a quick break down of the new pricing on DISH TV plans.

Legal details:

Package pricing does not include $12/month Local Channels price.

All packages, programming, pricing, surcharges and fees are subject to change. See your agreement for additional details. If you are currently enrolled in a price-lock or the preferred customer offer, your programming will not change and the Regional Sports Surcharge will not be applied until your offer ends. Effective 1/14/20, the price of Welcome Pack for customers who subscribed to it prior to 1/15/19 will be $30.99/month. Package prices do not include $12/month Local Channels price

DISH will also be adding a fee for regional sports networks in markets that still offer them. This means if you have an NBC Sports network, for example, you will be paying up to an additional $3 a month. DISH’s contract with NBC Sports is reportedly coming to an end soon. This new fee may be a way to help cover the cost of the new contract.

This all comes as AT&T, Comcast, and Spectrum are also raising their prices on TV customers. Spectrum’s TV price hike took effect last October. Comcast is raising its price later this week, and AT&T is raising its TV price in January 2020.
