Sinclair Broadcasting, which owns the local CBS affiliate and manages the local FOX affiliate, is threatening to pull both stations from Mediacom cable starting this Friday unless the parties come to an agreement.

Try an antenna. Since everyone went digital, there’s no such thing as a fuzzy picture. You either get it in crystal clear digital, or you don’t.
FOX is trying to position the situation as the cable companies not wanting to pay their fair share. But they’re asking for $1 per subscriber.
The signal’s out there absolutely free - go get it.
