Here (central Kansas), Cox provides the local channels in analog but
only one sub-channel (constant radar/ in digital) from any of the
broadcast networks in the area.  I don't think there are any plans to
add more local channels.
The main reason I need a converter box (or a TV with a digital tuner)
is for the times when the cable service is disrupted.  It does happen.
