4k programming??
Cox, when are you going to catch up to 2019? When are you bringing 4k channels to cable lineup?? Your competitors are already broadcasting Fox Sports 4k programming....
The FOX Sports app, FOX NOW app, Apple TV and Roku are Internet-streaming services. It's content from the Internet.
Channels get tricky. As far as I know, Cox doesn't provide, dedicate or own a 4K CATV channel. Since some competitors do have one, Fox Sports used 'em to distribute the World Series in 4K.
The thing about a dedicated 4K channel is there is nothing to air...except special events. There is also nothing "live" on a 4K channel because no networks broadcast in 4K...except special events.
Outside of special events, Cox would have to pay a 4K-content provider to fill the time on this channel...or connect a Blu-ray player to loop a movie all day. It would just be filler programming; however, if you have a 4K TV, it'd be kinda cool from time-to-time.
Should Cox dedicate a 4K channel...would Cox increase our bills...does Cox have the bandwidth...do we really need some of these *** channels?
I've never heard of TVision and fuboTV, so they must be quite small.
