George knapp has the story. Lisa Howfield klas general manager to make a Statement Like that is untrue and frankly offensive. Lisa howfield, general manager of nevadas first and most honored tv station, klas tv, has heard just about enough trash talk from cox cable. She says she would be remiss if she does not advise channel 8 views who subscribe to cox that they will lose the klas signal as of midnight friday. Cox customers will no longer see the most watched station in nevada. With its popular daytime dramas. Highest rated newscasts. Syn dicated shows like jeopardy and wheel of fortune.

Howfield is prohibited by law from making public what the retransmission rates would be but says the typical fair amount negotiated by stations all across the country is around 1 dollar per subscriber. Cox is paying many times that amount for espn, but only a fraction as much for klas. Most telling of all is one fact that cox cant spinthe proposed re transmission rate has already been deemed fair and reasonable by every other provider system here. All except cox.
