Well it looks Like Blue Ridge Communications will be Dropping 2 Fox Networks
Because WOLF FOX 56 wants all the rights. Please Read and make your call.

Fox WNYW/WTXF
WOLF exercised its exclusive right to the Wilkes Barre Scranton Market thus forcing us to remove WNYW and in some areas WTXF. Blue Ridge tried everything to not let this happen but WOLF would not agree to rescind their rights. Effective May 28th, some FOX channels will no longer be available in the Wilkes Barre/Scranton market because WOLF-56 has requested we remove them from our channel lineup. Also effective May 28th, we will be removing WOLF-56 from our channel lineups in the New York Market. This is upon the request of WOLF-56 because they are telling us we do not have the right to retransmit their channel in the New York market area. We did everything possible to keep these channels on, but the Networks required us to remove them. At this time, we are currently looking into our options as to what we will be doing with the channels that are being removed from the lineups.
We regret that WOLF has required us to remove these channels. Comments can be directed to WOLF at 570-970-5600.
