Don't know how widely reported this is, but a few days ago, cable TV fatcat Oceanic announced a long list of channels that could possibly be dropped from their lineup because carriage agreements for these stations were due to "expire soon."
List of expiring channels.
Note that the list includes all forms of KITV, be it analog, digital, and HD.
Of course, OTW is merely following the law by announcing that they don't yet have an agreement in place to continue carrying these channels in the near future. There remains the possibility that OTW and KITV will strike a deal soon. But at the same time, there's no 100% assurance that an agreement will be hammered out in time.
Man, can you imagine the outrage that will break out in this community if our local ABC affiliate pulls its programming away from every single OTW customer? No more Dancing With The Stars.
