Cox Communications, Inc., and Cable America Corporation today announced the signing of a definitive agreement for Cox's purchase of the Arizona operations of Cable America serving 35,000 basic subscribers. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. The sale is expected to be completed by mid-year.

The cable systems are contiguous to Cox's Arizona cable operation, which currently services more than 1 million customers in 37 communities in Phoenix and Southern Arizona. The agreement includes cable television systems in Mesa, Florence, Wickenburg, Queen Creek, Coolidge and Gila Bend, as well as Maricopa and Pinal Counties.

"This acquisition is an important step in building a strong and lasting presence in the Arizona market," said Claus Kroeger, Senior Vice President of Operations for Cox Communications. "By expanding our footprint, this transaction furthers Cox's strategy to consolidate into larger operations and enhance the rollout of a full bundle of broadband communication services to Arizona's growing communities."

CableAmerica Corporation has been operating the Arizona cable systems since 1982.

"CableAmerica has been proud to be able to offer its customers cable television and broadband services in Arizona over the past 25 years," said William G. Jackson, President of CableAmerica. "Our commitment to customer service helped us forge a successful business."
