I hadn't thought about that. Dish locks everyone into a two-year price lock, which only guarantees the price of the core package, and then separates out the local channels as an add-on so they can still raise the bill. Since the core package price is locked for two years, does that mean that you also do not get the additional $5 reduction to the core package that Dish is promising to partially offset the cost of the local package?So, that contract I just signed, reducing the cost of my programming package by $10 per month, will be offset by a $10 separate fee for locals? Cool.
But your core programming will go down $5. So, your net increase is $5...So, that contract I just signed, reducing the cost of my programming package by $10 per month, will be offset by a $10 separate fee for locals? Cool.

Very well could be true.But the contract locks the price of the core programming, so it might not go down by $5.
Maybe, just maybe, the lock is for an increase in the price of core programming and not for a decrease....But the contract locks the price of the core programming, so it might not go down by $5.
Maybe, but with the $10 discount for the contract, the price is already locked at a lower rate than the $5 decrease to the regular price, so the additional $5 decrease may not apply.Maybe, just maybe, the lock is for an increase in the price of core programming and not for a decrease....
Hmm, wonder how Welcome is impacted. You have the locals, but no RSN.
That's good for me!According to the article linked before, Welcome Pack won't see a change. http://www.multichannel.com/news/distribution/cable-fees-set-rise-new-year/409676
"Dish customers that receive the two-year price guarantee won’t see any change to their bill for that period, and neither will customers currently in a promotional pricing period. Hall added that customers of Dish’s Flex Pack, Welcome Pack or DishLATINO Basico also will not see increases."
“To offset this change, we have reduced core programming package charges by $5 per month,” Dish said in an email message. “However, the combined impact of these changes will result in a $5 increase to the monthly bill.”

But a $5 increase to me says that the Locals will be $10 per month in addition to the cost of your $5 decreased base package.
