New year brings new media offerings for Cox subscribers

The new year is bringing new ways for customers of Cox Communications to watch some of their favorite programs. Subscribers will be able to view programs across multiple platforms, including laptops, tablets, Xboxes and smart phones. “It’s more nimble, it’s more integrated and it adds convenience and value,” explains Cox Communications spokeswoman Sharon Souther Bethea. It’s also the way of the future. As media platforms are increasingly integrated, communications companies that want to stay in the game have little choice but to give their subscribers the ability to access programming when they want it—and from anywhere. “This is the future of the industry,” Bethea says. “We want customers to have better ways to control and personalize their services.” Among the channels available to Cox subscribers across multiple platforms are the ESPN and Disney families of channels, the Watch NFL Network and certain CBS programming. Bethea says more options will become available in the months ahead.
