KETV's digital high definition signal is no longer being carried on Cox Communication's cable system.
The removal of the ABC affiliate's digital signal from Cox on Sunday is the result of unsuccessful negotiations between representatives of Hearst-Argyle Television, Inc., KETV-TV's parent company, and Cox, according to information on KETV.com. Hearst-Argyle is seeking fair and reasonable terms from Cox in return for allowing Cox to carry KETV-DT's programming and charge its subscribers for access to that programming.
"So as not to inconvenience a large number of its viewers, Hearst-Argyle will allow Cox to continue to retransmit KETV-TV's primary analog signal while the companies continue to work in good faith toward a resolution of retransmission consent terms," reads the story on KETV.com.
KETV General Manager Joel Vilmenay did not respond to The Reader's request for more information last week, nor did a Cox Communications spokeswoman.

It's not just Omaha. Cox in Oklahoma was forced also to remove the Hearst-Argyle Television HD signal from thier lineup as well. Hearst-Argyle Television wants paid for a free signal. Boycott KETV and thier advertisers.
Next weeks Nebraska game is on KETV and KETVHD.
Email KETV and tell them to get thier HD signal back on COX.

I will most definately be boycotting KETV and their sponsors until they agree.
Greed and TV money..who would have thunk it?
No you won't. If you did, you would have signed your name to that. Don't post like a martyr if you can't back it up.
You probably don't even know all of KETV's sponsors, anyway.
Switched over to WOWT to watch the news last night. Started a list of sponsors just before that.
Next time you enter my home and what what I do, please knock or ask to come in.
Thanks
