Contour Watch TV Online - Flash Player retirement

Cox's Contour Watch TV Online website https://watchtv.cox.com/listings requires Flash Player to be enabled when accessed with Chrome.  Adobe has announced Flash Player will be retired in 2021.  Does Cox have plans to migrate from Flash to open web technologies to maintain this website after Flash Player is retired?   Thank you.

    Hello, anyone from Cox Communications.  Will https://watchtv.cox still be available after Adobe retires Flash Player?  Thanks.

      I contacted cox.help@cox.com and received this response:

      Hi,

      Thank you for contacting the Cox Social Media Support team. We do not have any specific information on what will be used to replace flash at this time, but we will have an alternative when that time comes.

      Thank you, Maria.  It's somewhat reassuring to hear from someone at Cox that there are plans to update watchtv.cox so that it will continue to be available after Adobe retires Flash Player.
