The best part about this whole Belo argument, is that Cox is threatening to remove our CBS affiliate completely unless they get what they wants.

We're talking about losing a good number of subscribers here, plus our CBS newscasts are some of the highest rated in the nation. Not only that, but the local station also devoted a channel to running the latest newscasts 24 hours a day, and Cox is threatening to yank that right off the air if they so choose.

Anyway, my point is that this whole Belo situation affects the entire nation, mainly any city where Belo owns a station... so I definitely feel your pain.
