...if you intend on watching the NCAA tounament in much of Kansas. 

WIBW no longer on Cox? (http://www.cjonline.com/stories/022708/loc_251512027.shtml)

I can attest that in Manhattan via antenna the WIBW signal is fantastic.

Thankfully I have DirecTV at home and won't have to worry about it.

Also, I might have an eye problem.  I can't see myself going into work for the opening round games   ;)

Therefore, Kaufmann said, even if WIBW goes dark on Channel 12, those Cox customers whose subscription includes the HDTV digital tier will still be able to see the local CBS affiliate's programming, including the NCAA Tournament to which CBS Sports has the broadcasting rights.

Analog it's channel 13.  Channel 12 is what it is on on the cable system.

That's really odd.  Why would they have different agreements?

Switched to DirectTV 12 years ago and never went back. 

But somebody should really start a thread about which is better: DirectTV or Dish.

I heard on "The Game" that KCTV out of Kansas City will still work in the Manhattan area because we are technically out of the Topeka viewing area.  They can't black it out here.

They've threatened to block KCTV but can't. Even if they could I still have WIBW HD Channel 620 which they cannot touch so I'm good to go.

They've extended the deadline one week because talks are going well. I think it will all go away very soon.
