I received this email yesterday:
Verizon FIOS
We're working hard to come to a fair agreement with Tegna, the owner of WUSA CBS (509 HD / 9 SD) before our current agreement expires at 5pm on December 31, 2021. However, Tegna has proposed unreasonable price increases, starting with close to a 50% increase. In the past year, Tegna removed their stations from other video providers who would not agree to unreasonable price increases. Tegna may do the same with Fios.
Verizon remains committed to giving customers the ability to watch these TV channels but simply cannot agree to Tegna's demands for such unreasonable price increases.

Thanks for choosing Verizon.
