"A contract dispute between Verizon Fios and Cox Media Group left many Patriots fans unable to watch Sunday's game against the Jets, prompting viewers to seek alternative, sometimes costly, streaming options. Now customers want to know whether Verizon Fios and Cox will resolve the blackout before Sunday's matchup - or if they'll have to find another way to watch their teams again."
"The contract dispute between Verizon Fios and Cox Media Group, which cut off some FOX and NBC programming for Fios customers in Boston, Providence, and Pittsburgh, began on Dec. 15. Customers in Boston and Providence lost access to WFXT or the FOX, Charge!, and Laff channels, while those in Pittsburgh lost access to WPXI channels, including NBC, meTV, Laff, and Pittsburgh Cable News Channel."
""We have been in extensive negotiations with Cox Media Group to reach a new agreement that is fair and keeps your bill from increasing unreasonably," a Verizon spokesperson said previously. "Unfortunately, Cox Media Group is demanding increases that are neither reasonable nor fair.""

Fox holds exclusive Patriots broadcast rights, leaving many fans unable to watch the Jets game. Verizon and Cox have each blamed the other over demands and dropped channels. Some viewers used free trials and other streaming options while negotiations continue without confirmed resolution.
