NewsNation, the new home of disgraced CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, could be dropped from millions of homes by the end of this week if its parent company Nexstar cannot reach an agreement with cable provider Verizon Fios.
In a message delivered to customers of its Fios TV service, Verizon stated that its “contract with Nexstar ends on October 14, 2022 and your Fios TV package contains Nexstar channels,” adding that it is currently “working hard to negotiate with them to reach a new agreement.”
According to Verizon, however, Nexstar—the largest television station owner in the United States—“has proposed charging over 64% more for its programming.” The telecommunications giant further noted that it “remains committed to making these channels available to our customers, but simply cannot agree to such unreasonable increases.”
