Duh: Analyst Says TV Programming Price Increases Are Unsustainable And ?A Train Wreck In The Making?

Your monthly cable or satellite bill just keeps going up -- that's the reality we all face. And while consumers are getting squeezed by price increases, they're not alone: Bernstein Research analyst Craig Moffett sees a reckoning coming, as increases in the cost of programming are also outpacing cable or satellite providers' ability to support them. Over the last five years, programming costs at DirecTV have risen 32 percent. But perhaps more importantly, those increases are accelerating, with costs rising upwards of 10 percent year-over-year. Meanwhile, income growth among U.S. residents has actually been negative during that time. So, according to Moffett, "Something's gotta give."
