Raycom has pulled their programming from Cox’s lineup for Cox customers in Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Louisiana and Arizona. Cox’s agreement with Raycom Media expired at 11:59 p.m., December 31, 2012. Raycom is withholding their programming because Cox won’t give them a price increase that’s 250% higher than what Cox already pays them for programming that is available for free over the air.  Exorbitant increases - like the one that Raycom is demanding – increase cable bills every year.  Cox is actively negotiating to get the channels back at a reasonable price. 

Raycom TV stations for Cox customers include: KOLD (Tucson, AZ); WOIO/WUAB (Cleveland, OH): WPGX (Panama City, FL); WAFB/WBXH (Baton Rouge, LA); KPLC (Lake Charles, LA); and WWBT/WUPV (Richmond-Petersburg, VA)
