Cox Explores Bidding for Time Warner Cable
Cox Communications is contemplating jumping into the bidding for Time Warner Cable Inc., either on its own or with others, say people familiar with the situation.
Cox is the third-biggest cable operator, after Time Warner Cable, with about 4.5 million television subscribers, ranking it a little ahead of Charter Communications, which started the pursuit of Time Warner Cable earlier this year. Charter is backed by John Malone’s Liberty Media Corp.
