After working for Cox Communications for pretty much all of his adult life, Cox President and CEO John Dyer will be stepping down at the end of 2017. Dyer was raised on a farm and worked at the Times Mirror when it was purchased by Cox. Cox currently provides High Speed Internet, Cable Television, phones, and smart home devices (called home automation) to more than 3 million customers. Cox is the third largest cable television company, just behind Comcast Xfinity and Charter Communications, including Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks.
Dyer will be replaced by Alex Taylor, a member of the fourth generation of the Cox family from which the company gets its name. The company has just shy of 60,000 employees.
In addition to bundles including Cox Cable television, high speed internet and home phone, Cox also operates Cox Media Group which owns newspapers, (like the Atlanta Journal-Constitution) Radio stations and television stations and Cox Automotive that owns Auto Trader, Kelley Blue Book. Cox offers cable television under the name Contour television.
