WIBW General Manager Jim Ogle announced on 13 News at 6 Thursday the station has reached agreement with Cox Cable on the continued carriage of WIBW, MyNetwork Topeka, and the Kansas NewsChannel.
The current retransmission agreement between WIBW and Cox was set to expire at 11:59 pm Thursday.
“The terms of the agreement are confidential,” Ogle said. “However, our thanks to our many viewers is anything but secret. We know this has been a frustrating and confusing time for those loyal Channel 13 viewers who get our signal through Cox cable. I want to thank each and every one for their patience as we got a new agreement worked out.”

Wake up people! You can't say "Cox should pay because Satellite pays for the local channels". It isn't the same deal. Not even close! The FCC requires Cox to carry WIBW's signal. Satellite does not have this restraint. They pay because they want the locals to compete against COX. Cox charges you for the locals because they have to maintain the network to deliver them to your house! It isn't the same thing as 'getting them for free'!

@ AMY: quoted from your post: "this is truely an prime example..." The word an should only be used if the following word starts with a vowel, so you should have used a instead of an an.
