Topeka, Kansas CBS affiliate and Cox finally come to terms

It sure seems like we've been watching this war between Topeka, Kansas' CBS affiliate (WIBW-TV) and Cox Communication wage for an awful lot longer than half a month, but just over a fortnight after this tiff came to a head, everything is seemingly back to normal. As of last night, the station and the carrier have reached an agreement that will enable CBS to remain on Cox's lineup, and just as expected, the terms of the deal are being kept under wraps. Now, if only Topeka could just get those six HD channels that are already available in many other parts of Kansas, all really would be well.

NOT in the Topeka market, NOT in the Wichita market...I'm not sure there are any other (non-KC) Cox markets in the state of Kansas! I think someone is blowing HD smoke up Engadgets ass. If I'm wrong, fine, but tell me who in the Sunflower State is actually receiving these channels RIGHT NOW.
