Verizon FiOs customers in Boston lose FOX in yet another carriage dispute

Verizon FiOs customers in Boston and Rhode Island may not be able to watch any new episodes of The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers, or Family Guy this upcoming weekend due to yet another carriage dispute. This one derives from an agreement between Cox Media and Verizon FiOs over re-transmission fees that would continue to carry WFXT-TV which according to Deadline now leaves about 400,000 customers of Verizon FiOs unable to watch any FOX programming.
Thankfully, a lot of these shows get reran on Hulu so customers in the area should make alternate plans for wanting to watch FOX’s originals as the executives from both sides seem to be far apart on this in new statements to Deadline.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
