"We achieved 97% of the majority of the minority condition and only need
approximately 275,000 additional shares to satisfy that condition," commented
John M. Dyer, Chief Financial Officer of Cox Enterprises. "An additional two
million shares were tendered over the first two-day extension, and we want to
give shareholders two additional days to tender their shares and work through
the mechanics and instructions with their custodian bank or broker."

The tender offer remains subject to the condition that a majority of the
minority shareholders (those who are not executive officers, directors or
affiliates of Cox Enterprises, Cox Media Group or Cox Radio other than
directors of Cox Radio who constitute the special committee of independent
directors formed to consider the tender offer) tender their shares.  All other
terms and conditions of the tender offer also remain unchanged.  As of 5:00
p.m. on May 15, 2009, approximately 8,472,000 shares had been tendered
pursuant to the offer, which amount includes approximately 485,000 shares
subject to guaranteed deliveries and approximately 327,000 shares tendered by
affiliates.  Accordingly, tendered shares represent approximately 97% of the
shares needed to satisfy the majority of the minority condition.  If the
majority of the minority condition is not satisfied as of the new expiration
date, Cox Enterprises does not intend to further extend the offer.
