If you subscribed previously, I'm pretty sure you got the email.
Key points:
EU Open and USDGC part of the base subscription
I think the monthly rate went up $2(?)
This thread isn't intended to be an argument about subscribing or whether DGN is worth it. That's each person's choice to make. I have been a subscriber and probably will renew.
Regardless, I can't help but wonder how this will impact the next day coverage teams. Those broadcasts obviously impact DGN viewership, but I think they are also a huge part of the reason for growth of the sport.

Dear DGN Subscriber,
As we kick off the 2022 DGPT season, there are a few important updates I want to share with you. As a part of the 30+ event package included in the 2022 subscription, we are thrilled to bring the European Open, USDGC and Throw Pink Championships broadcasts to our network! These two PDGA Major events will now be included in your subscription. In 2021, the USDGC and Throw Pink Championships were only available via pay-per-view. While we were able to offer a discounted PPV price for DGN Subscribers, it was an additional purchase on top of the regular subscription rate to access the content.
It was important to us that these two exciting events were included in the base subscription package for the 2022 season. However, in order for us to acquire the broadcasting rights to these prestigious tournaments, as well as distribute them as part of a standard DGN subscription, we've had to make some substantial investments.
Additionally, we've become the Official Tour of the PDGA, inking a deal with the governing body of the sport to merge the National Tour into the Disc Golf Pro Tour, and increase member benefits for PDGA members. In doing so, we've invested more into DGN equipment and personnel, and we are confident our viewers will see the impact of those investments over the course of the season as the live broadcast continues to improve. Subscribers will also be offered a more robust slate of content in addition to the live coverage, with recurring weekly shows that offer analysis, highlights, reporting, and insight into the behind-the-scenes of the tour and the players.
As a result of the substantial investments in content, equipment, and personnel we are implementing a small increase in the DGN subscription price for the 2022 season. A Disc Golf Network subscription will be $11.99 per month or $99.99 annually for the 2022 season. PDGA members still enjoy a 50% discount on the monthly subscription.
We are constantly looking for ways to add value for our subscribers and know that many of you are just as excited as we are to see the European Open and USDGC added to the schedule this year; but if you so desire, you can unsubscribe via this link or put a pause on your subscription here. We would hate to see you go and hope that you continue to watch alongside us for the 2022 season and beyond.
Thank you for your support of the Disc Golf Network and the Disc Golf Pro Tour.
Sincerely,
Jeff Spring
