Cox Hampton Roads Launches New Facebook Page

Your Friend in the Digital Age becomes Your Facebook Friend

CHESAPEAKE, Va., March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Cox Communications Hampton Roads is pleased to announce the launch of its official Facebook page. The new Facebook page provides updates on new promotions and service offerings, community activities, and provides an outlet for customers to communicate with the company through social media.

Leigh Woisard, Cox Vice President of Public Affairs, said, "The use of social media - from blogs, to Facebook and Twitter accounts - has grown tremendously by our customers. With our new Facebook page, we are offering yet another way for our customers to engage and interact with us. We hope that our customers think it's different, unique and fun - and most of all a useful tool as they sort through all of the digital technology and entertainment now available to them."

Cox's new Facebook page contains a variety of features including:

-- Three special tabs called In the Home, In the Community and In
Business that each contain targeted information for residential,
business, and community audiences. Also, they include discussion
opportunities where feedback is solicited from fans and friends.
-- A "Who Said That" contest game that provides chances to win prizes by
participating. It is featured on the In the Home tab.
-- Useful tips on Cox content and service upgrades. For example, Cox's
recently launched channel SWRV. It is a new product offering that
hinges on audience participation. It features 10 different interactive
programs and offers viewers the opportunity to submit user-generated
content, and to vote for and rate videos. Facebook is available for
customers interested in general updates on that product and how it
works. A review of the new "My Primetime" feature is also discussed.
My Primetime gives free next day access to episodes of top rated
primetime hits from networks like ABC, NBC, Cartoon Network and FX and
more.

Cox customers and the Hampton Roads community are invited to become fans and join the discussion online at www.facebook.com/coxhamptonroads.
