Cox Radio, Inc. Issues Revised Response/Recommendation Statement Regarding Tender Offer of Cox Media Group, Inc.

ATLANTA, April 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cox Radio, Inc. (NYSE:CXR) announced today that the Special Committee has withdrawn its recommendation that the stockholders of Cox Radio accept the tender offer by Cox Media Group, Inc., an indirect and wholly owned subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, Inc., and tender their shares of Class A common stock for $3.80 per share. The Special Committee has determined that at this time it cannot express an opinion with respect to the tender offer and, therefore, is taking a neutral position with respect to the tender offer for the following reasons:

   --  Cox Enterprises and Cox Media Group have announced an extension of the       tender offer until 12:00 midnight New York City time on Friday, May 1,       2009 without increasing the offer price;     --  The Board of Directors of Cox Radio adopted a resolution clarifying       the Special Committee's authority to negotiate all terms of the tender       offer, including the offer price; and     --  In the course of conversations among the Special Committee and a       representative of Cox Enterprises, Cox Enterprises' representative       informed the Special Committee that Cox Media Group and Cox       Enterprises were giving serious consideration to increasing the offer       price to $4.20 per share and that the increased price may not be their       best and final offer.   

The Special Committee has not changed its previous determination with respect to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the offer price to the stockholders of Cox Radio (other than to Cox Media Group and Cox Enterprises).
