What are the facts regarding Cox possibly dropping some CBS local stations?

Our local CBS station (WPRI, Providence, Rhode Island) has been running a 'thread' at the bottom of the screen during news programs, warning that Cox may be dropping the station as of January 1.

Does anyone know what is the actual, non-hyped situation regarding Cox dropping CBS or its local stations?

Personally, I think it would be a big mistake to drop any of the 'big three' networks or the major cable channels.
