Cox Interactive Media Launches SanDiegoInsider.com

Posted on October 22, 1997

SanDiegoInsider.com, a product of Cox Interactive Media's (CIM) San Diego Studio, is an online community designed specifically for San Diegans. The site's content includes sports, recreation, entertainment, topical events and news.

"More than our content, SanDiegoInsider.com is a new interactive community that gives San Diego's 675,000 online users a chance to participate in the site and to talk about how they live, work and play in San Diego," said Mark Forster, city site manager at the San Diego studio. "Online communities are not simply about collecting information, they are about bringing people together to share their knowledge of the community."

Each SanDiegoInsider.com community has hosts, who run the gamut from TV personalities to publishers of specialty publications in and around the San Diego area. For example, sports announcers Mel Proctor and Mark Grant of Cox Channel 4 will keep San Diego up-to-date on all the Padres news and moves.
