Keep CBS8 and MeTV

I also expect to have what I signed up for which include CBS 8.  It is the most watched network, with all the best comedy and drama shows, plus NFL Football.  Unless you want a flurry of customers leaving Cox and moving to U-Verse or Direct T.V., worker harder on getting this resolved.  If CBS 8 is off the Cox system on Friday morning, I will switch immediately to U-Verse.

For $180.00 a month for just t.v., I expect everything I have now, not minus one network.

don't just bash cox without bashing the local affiliate also they are they ones who will remove the signal from cox.

I can not believe that you are even contemplating dropping the most popular TV station in your line up; we will also need to drop Cox; we signed up for Cox with the fact of CBS being in the channel line up.  What are you planning on doing to keep from losing CBS before tomorrow?

I need to keep cbs 8 and me tv  on my cox package. They are literally the only network channel I watch.

cox isn't dropping them the local affiliate wants cox to pay a higher fee to carry the channel which will cause your bill to go up. 

The only reason I still have Cox is because CBS does not stream (e.g. Hulu). I will absolutely, 100%, drop Cox if CBS is removed from their available channels. 

If cbs is cancelled Thursday I will cancel my cox account first thing Friday. 

Why should the bill go up?  I'm sure Cox will still make plenty for the prices they charge! Let them take a tiny hit for the team!

That's my $.02 and I'm sticking to it.

Thanks for the info, Becky.  Every time I see that CBS8 might be removed from Cox, it stresses me out!!  I really hope that both Cox and CBS8 can reach an agreement since it is the channel my husband and I watch the most.  It would not do anyone any good if it is removed.  Appreciate all the efforts by Cox and CBS8 to reach an agreement.  I hope tomorrow when I turn my t.v. on, channel 8 is there!!!  I'd hate to leave Cox but I wouldn't hesitate.

I;m not sure what the locals have to do with it.  I would seriously have to think about using someone else if I lost CBS 8, which I would hate to do since I've been with them like 30 some years.

the local stations are who cox get the CBS signal from so cox and the local broadcast affiliate need to have an agreement with cox to allow cox to carry the signal

I sure hope they reach an agreement. Judge Judy and 60 Minutes are the shows I would miss most, but I also depend on CBS news in the evenings. I tried calling the number given on TV the other day, along with keepcbs8.com, but to my great surprise, all I got was a weird AT&T ad, advising callers that the number was no longer valid, but that they could get the CBS shows they were afraid of losing if they would become AT&T customers. (I don't remember exactly the words used, but that was the gist of it.) That tactic did not do anything to make me want to switch to AT&T. But there are other providers.

I also, with the cost of this account, expect to have ALL the networks.  This is a great way to lose customers.  What are you thinking.
