If this model has a/v inputs you could use them and if you're on cable (direct cable not cable box) you could use a vcr to change channels - or you could remove the tuner and resolder the "cable plug" (RF connector) if it didn't crack the tuner circuit board when it came off.
If it is the plug coming out of the wall then you can either call the cable company to fix or go to Radio Shack, Home Depot or Lowe's and get the parts you need:
Instructions on how to repair should be in the fittings package.
Sorry, I miss-read this post. I orginally thought it said your cable broke, meaning the coax that went to the back of the TV.
The coax input is more than likely a part of the main board. I am not a tv expert but as with laptops and input modules that break you have to soder the peice on or replace the whole board.
Easier to switch to a/v inputs as mentioned in Solution #1.
I could not find a spec sheet for your model but did find this for you to give you an idea on what is entailed in replacing a broken RF connection. This may or may not apply to your model, but here it is anyway.

I would suggest letting someone who is qualified in TV repair fix it.
Here are the service manuals for your Zenith. Download both and then extract to your desktop for easy access. I downloaded and extracted myself to make sure it was a working copy so you are good to go.
