Essentially INCOMINNING! as another group of consumers will be in an uproar. To put simply for those that are new to this:

Only COX can remove the channels they own.

Nothing guarantees we get these channels as we are not entitled to them.

Station owner (COX) removes the channels to try and get higher rates paid.

This is unpleasant every time it happens, but everybody is working within the rules.

Just the nature of negotiations unfortunately.

Luckily Cox doesn't own nearly as many locals as Nexstar, for example. Therefore, I expect to see the Forum to be less crazy with complaints
