What is the $23 "Sports Credit Aug 11" on my latest bill?

It's nice to get any kind of discount on my Cox bill, but I have no idea what this credit is for. There wasn't an explanation on the bill.

Is there an erroneous charge on your previous bill?

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, limited sports programming content was televised during the months of April, May, and June of 2020. Most regional sports networks are providing Cox with rebates for this limited programming.

As a courtesy, Cox is passing along a portion of these reimbursements as a one-time credit.

I noticed you wrote "portion" in your explanation.  When a Sports Network charges Cox to transmit regional sports, does Cox pay a "portion" of this original charge or does Cox recoup 100% of this charge from their cable-TV subscribers?

As much as this charge spikes every year, I seriously doubt Cox would pay any portion; however, Cox will opportunistically take a portion of any rebate.  Does Cox take an Admin Fee for having to process any rebate?

Why'd it take over a year to calculate your "share?"
