Cox Expands Cox TV Connect to New Cable Channels

Cox Communications announced Monday that its Cox TV Connect app will now have access to 56 new national cable channels.

Additionally, customers can access the app on the iPhone and iPod touch. The application creates a ‘second screen’ experience for customers to watch live television programming in their home on their iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device.

“Cox is continuing to expand television viewing options for our customers, particularly with ‘off-TV’ experience,” said Steve Necessary, vice president of video product development and management.

“The new enhancements to TV Connect give customers the choice and flexibility to watch their favorite programming anywhere in their home, without a TV.”

Access to live programming through Cox TV Connect marks a significant expansion of Cox’s online offering. Introduced last December, the original Cox TV Connect app for iPad has been downloaded more than 420,000 times from Apple iTunes, says the company.

The new channel lineup adds 56 new cable channels including Bio, Encore, Fox Business Network, Galavision, G4, Hallmark Movie Channel, Oxygen, Sprout, and Tennis Channel, bringing the total to over 90 channels.
