About

A leading local media company offering integrated TV, radio, and digital advertising solutions across multiple U.S. markets

Cox Media Group (CMG) is an American media conglomerate principally owned by Apollo Global Management, with Cox Enterprises holding a 29% minority stake. Its operations span broadcast television, radio, daily newspapers, digital sites, and a suite of national advertising platform businesses, including CoxReps — described as the country's largest television rep firm — as well as Gamut and Videa. CMG's radio network reaches audiences across more than 18 markets, and its advertising offerings allow marketers to target listeners by age, gender, location, language, content genre, and over 350 interest and user-status categories. Its Gamut unit focuses on over-the-top and connected TV advertising solutions, while CMG's linear television and radio properties handle traditional broadcast inventory. In a notable regulatory matter, CMG agreed to pay $880,000 to settle FTC allegations that it falsely claimed to offer an AI-powered, voice-data-driven ad targeting service it did not actually provide.
