Las Vegas channel 8 (KLAS) no longer available
I am sure I am not the only one pissed off at not having access to our local channel 8 because of Cox' communication greed. Just another example of how little they care about their viewers. They really must think they are the only cable option viewers have or feel confident and smug to place their viewers wishes 1st. I for one will seriously be taking my business elsewhere after almost 20 year with Cox. Sick and tired of them trying to monopolize the air waves and raise rates in the process. Shame on them

you have it wrong KLAS wants cox to pay huge increase in fees for carriage of the channel so cox is trying to keep it low. Yes you might say you already pay to much or just the right amo0unt but if KLAS and other over the air stations continue to seek increase in fees for the station which are free over the air who would end up paying the customer that's who,

It is bad enough that we(cable users) have to pay to view "free" broadcast local channels. Any increase in costs will just be passed along to us.
Not sure how smart it is for CBS KLAS channel 8 to block 41% of vewers from watching their programs just to get a $.60 (??) per subscriber increase in cable fees. Especially with Febuary being a sweeps month that will determine how much they can charge for advertising for the next 3 months. I has to be costing them Millions per day to block the channel.
If I end up missing the Superbowl because of KLAS's greed I will be avoiding CBS programming in the future. I will also be writing a letter to the FCC next time their licence is up for renewal.
