Time Warner Cable to stop carrying Fox?

There's some rumbling between the cable co & Fox Broadcasting. If any of you have Time Warner Cable, you might want to read this:

In short, if they can't come to an agreement, TWC might stop carrying most Fox channels, including the one that airs Bones (or so I read it).

"In an internal memo to staff, News Corp. President and Chief Operating Officer Chase Carey said he did not think an agreement would be reached with Time Warner Cable regarding carrying Fox's local TV stations and several cable networks before the deadline of the current deal expired at midnight Thursday."

So, basically we'll all be in the middle of watching the NYE special, and them bam in cuts out? I have Bright House, but they're like a daughter company or whatever to TW. So...what happens to Fox News and Fox Sports and all that? They're going to disappear to? I was really hoping they'd be able to reach a deal of some sort, but it's not looking too good right now.
