Dish Network is raising prices on several of its plans by $5 per month, effective Sept. 11.
“The price we pay to provide you with the programming you enjoy continues to increase well above the pace of inflation. We actively fight every day on your behalf to keep costs as low as possible,” the pay TV operator said in a notice to customers. “However, due to these rising costs, DISH is changing prices on select core programming, fees and surcharges, resulting in a $5 increase per month.”
Dish blamed the rising costs on large programmers who “continually force us to pay more for their channels or threaten to remove them from our customers.”
“We will continue to work hard for fair deals with these programmers to keep channel costs and the price you pay as low as possible,” the company added.

- Welcome Pack – $66.99 per month
- Smart Pack – $70.99 per month

- Dish America – $87.99 per month
