Due to a carriage dispute, all Cox stations, including Seattle's KIRO7, a CBS affiliate, are currently blocked on DirecTV. This standoff threatens Super Bowl viewership with potential blackouts starting February 2 unless the parties reach a transmission agreement soon. The dispute affects 14 Cox channels across various markets.

Cox has 14 channels, including regional ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX regional channels available in Boston, Pittsburgh, and Atlanta markets. If they don’t agree, blackouts might begin as early as Feb. 2, writes the Charlotte Observer.
