Cox Interactive Media Continues Rapid Expansion

Posted on October 24, 1997

Cox Enterprises, Inc., has been rapidly adding sites ever since it created Cox Interactive Media (CIM). To date, CIMnet, the name of this network of sites, includes 14 city sites and six specialty web sites. By Dec. 31, 1997, CIMnet will include more than 30 web sites. CIM has hired 225 people and by mid-1998 will employ 450 people.

"We are moving and growing at a blistering pace," said Peter Winter, president of CIM. "Cox Enterprises has invested heavily in 25 media markets around the country to build No. 1 ranked newspapers, TV and radio stations, and cable systems. Our job is to protect and grow that franchise by creating a network of local Web sites that the 60 million consumers in Cox markets return to again and again."
