If you have Spectrum from Charter Communications as your cable provider (CATV) you could loose access to KWGN-Colorado's Own Channel 2 & KDVR-FOX31 *KFCT-Ft. Collins*. Because Tribune broadcasting is in negotiations with Charter over the re transmission of their stations nationwide. More specifically how much charter is willing to pay tribune to continue to carry their stations. If no agreement is made before January 1, 2019 KWGN & KDVR/KFCT will be removed from their systems in Colorado. This isn't the first time Tribune has had re-trans disputes recently the last major one for Tribune was last June with Dish Network, Tribune stations were off for 2 weeks after both parties were unable to reach an agreement. We'll have to see if they can come to an agreement by the end of 2018 or if we have a blackout to begin the new year.
UPDATE: Tribune Broadcasting & Spectrum have agreed to a short term extension while they continue to negotiate, if no deal is made by January 2, 2019 at 3PM MST then KWGN/KDVR & KFCT will be pulled from Spectrum.
