Cable companies can still broadcast in whatever they want, analog, digital. the cable is theirs, they can do with it as they will.
the upcoming cutoff only applies to analog broadcasts over the air (OTA).
This is the first I've heard of a cable company announcing to cutoff their analog signal. Cox pretty much took the opportunity to say "you can subscribe to us and still be fine for 3 years!". when, in reality they're just announcing they're going to screw those people in 3 years.
this is actually a really good thing for most of us, When they stop broadcasting analog, that will open up a HUGE amount of bandwidth for more digital services. more HD, more channels, more on demand, etc.. which, for cox means more $$$
