Broadcast Station Surcharge What is the "Broadcast Station Surcharge" on my bill? The "Broadcast Station Surcharge" reflects the fees the owners of the broadcast television stations are entitled to charge for carriage of their signals. Unlike cable networks, the broadcast television stations distribute their signals over the air. Under federal law, cable operators must obtain the broadcasters’ consent before retransmitting broadcast television stations and broadcasters may require the cable operator to pay for the signal. The broadcasters’ recent demands have created higher fees for this process known as "retransmission consent." This became effective July 1, 2009. Unfortunately, it has become necessary for us to pass this charge on to our subscribers. As a result of this, you will notice an increase in this fee on your bill. The funds collected as "Broadcast Station Surcharge" are paid to the broadcast television stations who are charging those fees to Giles-Craig Communications, Inc. We do not profit from the collection of these added charges. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our business office at 544-2288.
