Our Heritage

Cox Enterprises, Inc., the majority shareholder of Cox Communications, began with the 1898 purchase of the Dayton (Ohio) Evening News by James M. Cox, who would later serve three terms as Governor of Ohio and was the Democratic candidate for U.S. President in 1920. The company Governor Cox founded eventually purchased additional newspapers, radio and television stations, cable TV systems and automobile auctions. Today, privately held Cox Enterprises maintains significant holdings in each of those businesses, as well as numerous related ventures, and had consolidated revenues of more than $10 billion in 2003.
