Basically it has been announced that come January 1st, Kansas Now 22 becomes the property of KSN. Thanks to a new cable deal with Cox involving digital programming and contracts, one of the things KSN lobbied for (and won) is the rights to Ch. 22.
They don't plan to re-invent the wheel, but there will be a different format and it will push more sports than weather or news.

How will this affect the Shockers games? Will there be different announcers since Haertl doesn't work for KSN?

Haertl didn't work for KAKE either. Doesn't WSU determine who the announcers will be?

I don't think WSU has anything to do with it (I could be wrong). There was a significant period when no WSU games were being televised and then Haertl and Channel 12 stepped forward. I assume it got put on Cox 22 because Cox gave Haertl/Ch12 a financial incentive so Cox could use it as a marketing tool. Also it probably a win-win for Channel 12 because then they wouldn't have any network programing preempted. Take this with all a grain of salt because this is my deductions rightly or wrongly.

The way I understood it...you're pretty much right on the money.

Thats basically right, and is why ch 12 doesn't broadcast the games on digital 12-2 over their weather info. Cox gets basically exclusive broadcast of the games on 22
