Crisis in Syndication: Local Station Not Airing SGU S2

If your affiliate is a Cox Communications station, they also might have dropped the show

Um, nope. Cox is a cable company, not a network or station. You might have had it on your local CBS/Fox affiliate, which happens to be shown via Cox, but Cox isn't the network airing it. I think you have that a little confused.
 
Broccoli, for many reasons I don't believe in paying for tv, which in my lifetime was traditionally free.
Cable television has been around for almost 40 years. Are you in your 80s?

Also: No one uses VHS anymore.

Satellite TV is free in a number of countries. I guess that if you put a large enough dish on your roof to tap into one or several European satellites, you'd have it for free as well.

Cox is the cable company in many areas (Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Diego, Santa Barbara, etc) but also owns several TV stations (Fox in the Bay Area/Reno/El Paso, ABC in Atlanta/Orlando/Charlotte, CBS in Seattle/Dayton, NBC in Pittsburgh. That sucks they dropped it, see if another local station picks it up.

The reason I'm interested in SGU S2 syndication is that since the SGU S2 blu-ray was cancelled, the best version I'll get of it is recording it of a TV station in 1080i (in my case KCAL in LA).
 
cal888, thank you and for the rundown. Anne Cox and her company are creeps, but the local stations, radio included, try to please. Cox is bankrolled by cable and then uses its capital from suckers to wreak havoc in broadcasting. cal888, I will see if I can get SGU picked up by another station. I'll answer other interesting replies soon.

Your NBC station in Orlando and CW18 are owned by the same company that owns the NBC in Sacramento (Hearst), and they show SGU in that part of NorCal. Maybe try WESH first?
 
Syndication doesn't work this way. A station isn't going to air a show because you ask them to.
