Cox Communications has launched a low-cost streaming television service for its Internet customers in San Diego and three other markets in Southern California. The cable company announced on Thursday the new Cox TV Lite service, priced at $20 per month and featuring 80 channels of primarily entertainment content.
The service uses the free Contour App and does not require a cable box. Cox TV Lite includes popular channels such as Food Network, HGTV, Hallmark, A&E, Lifetime, AMC, and Discovery Channel. However, it does not offer news channels or local broadcasters.
This new service comes as cable companies nationwide seek to leverage their internet access offerings to prevent customers from “cutting the cord” in search of more affordable viewing options. Notably, Spectrum, which is merging with Cox, announced a similar service earlier this month.
“Cox TV Lite is our answer to customers seeking affordable, easy access to the channels they love,” said John Hays, senior vice president of residential marketing for Cox, in a statement. “We’re excited to offer an entertainment solution that fits modern viewing habits and helps customers get more value from their Cox Internet service,” he added.
In addition to San Diego, the service is also available in Orange County, Palos Verdes, and Santa Barbara.
