BISMARCK (AP) -- Customers of the Midcontinent Communications cable company have to use rabbit ears if they want to see Fox TV shows in the Bismarck and Minot areas.
The local Fox affiliate is no longer on the Midcontinent lineup after the two companies failed to agree on a transmission contract.
Midcontinent says the affiliate, KNDX and KXND, wanted too much money for the cable company to carry its signal. Officials of KNDX and KXND say they were seeking a fair fee.
The station is broadcasting in analog and still can be received through antenna without a digital converter box. But Midcontinent customers will either have to shut off their cable boxes or switch to an input channel on their televisions.
