Cox Launches WRIC in HD to Customers in King and Queen County, New Kent, and West Point

CHESAPEAKE, Va., May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 12, Cox Communications will be launching WRIC HD on channel 708 to customers in King and Queen County, New Kent, and West Point. Also, CNN HD will be moved to channel 707 in King and Queen County, New Kent, and West Point only.

Below are the new channel assignments for WRIC, WRIC HD, CNN and CNN HD in West Point, New Kent and King & Queen County -- beginning May 12:

-- WRIC: Channel 8
-- WRIC HD: Channel 708
-- CNN: Channel 7
-- CNN HD: Channel 707

Vice President of Sales and Marketing Jen Garrett said, "Cox is making these changes because there will be better alignment of the HD channels with their standard definition channels and we believe this will ease channel reference for our Middle Peninsula customers. The channel moves will not affect other areas of Hampton Roads."

WRIC HD is the local ABC affiliate from Richmond. To receive WRIC HD, customers will need an HD receiver and Cox Limited Basic Service. To receive CNN HD, customers will need an HD receiver or CableCARD and a subscription to Cox Standard service, Digital Gateway and HD Expanded Service.
