Spectrum Takes Over Cox in Southern Nevada, Rebranding and Expanding Services
Charter Communications’ Spectrum is taking over Cox’s Southern Nevada operations, with Cox stores rebranded to Spectrum and Spectrum planning to roll out its full product lineup by mid-September. Starting Thursday, Cox Internet customers who don’t have Cox Mobile will receive a free year of mobile service; existing Cox pricing will stay for now, and Spectrum touts lower prices across internet, mobile, and video, plus benefits like HBO Max on select plans. Front-line Cox employees are protected with a starting wage of at least $20/hour and benefits, while some corporate roles may be eliminated; Charter expects about $500 million in annual cost savings within three years. Spectrum will remain the consumer-facing brand, with a corporate name change to Cox Communications anticipated within a year, as Spectrum’s Nevada footprint expands (including Spectrum SportsNet LA in Las Vegas).
