Cox Radio Announces Additional Share Repurchase Authorization

ATLANTA, May 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cox Radio, Inc. (NYSE:CXR) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized an additional share repurchase program through which Cox Radio, from time to time, may repurchase up to $100 million of its Class A common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined by the company's management. In August 2005, an earlier share repurchase program was authorized for the repurchase of up to $100 million of Cox Radio's Class A common stock. As of March 31, 2007, $85 million of Class A common stock had been repurchased under that plan, and the company intends to acquire shares pursuant to the remaining $15 million authorized before making purchases under the newly authorized plan.

As of March 31, 2007, Cox Radio had 37.1 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding. Cox Radio has no obligation to repurchase shares under the Board's authorization, and the timing, actual number and price of shares that are purchased will depend on a number of factors, including the market value of Cox Radio's Class A common stock. Cox Radio may suspend or discontinue either repurchase program at any time.
