Sky to raise TV costs by up to 10%
TV customers at Sky face a significant price rise from September.
Sky is to raise the cost of its TV packages by up to 10%.
The TV giant has snuck the announcement out, simply adding a statement to its 'Sky Shop' that the price of Sky TV will increase by up to 10% on 1st September “in accordance with our standard terms”. It has not confirmed whether this will apply just to new customers or existing ones too.
Sky offers four main TV bundles. Here’s what they include, what they cost now, and how much they would cost if they were subject to the full 10% price rise.

Just a thought but what's with the 'SNUCK' in the article? I have to write copy in both UK and American English, but at least I can remember where I am.

Give them a break ! That poor Mr. Murdoch has another divorce settlement to fund, he'll be down to his last $9 Billion. We've all fancied a Chinese - but it was one hell of an expensive takeaway for that man.

Sky state "prices may rise by up to 10% in the initial contract term." Now to me that means when you first sign up. Also, if you amend your contract to say a better package after a few weeks, does that mean your original contract has come to an end, therefore you are then excluded from the price increase? Surely if you have had Sky for years (like myself), then again, as you are no longer in your initial contract term, surely this price increase will not affect you. Any ideas anyone?
