ATLANTA, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Cox Enterprises, Inc., announced today that
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cox Media Group, Inc., successfully completed its
tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock
of Cox Radio, Inc. (NYSE: CXR) not otherwise owned by Cox Media Group.  The
offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, May 19, 2009.   A
total of approximately 10,327,500 shares of Cox Radio Class A common stock
were tendered, which amount includes approximately 917,500 shares subject to
guaranteed deliveries and approximately 327,000 shares tendered by affiliates,
representing 59.4% of Cox Radio's publicly held Class A shares.  Cox Media

Shareholders who have tendered their shares will receive $4.80 per share for

so doing, took advantage of an excellent opportunity to obtain liquidity at a
45% premium over the closing price the trading day prior to commencement of
the offer," said Jimmy W. Hayes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cox
Enterprises.  "We believe that private ownership offers advantages that will
assist Cox Radio in attaining its business objectives and managing its capital
structure as well as ensuring that Cox Radio maintains its best-in-class

implement a short-form merger under Delaware law in which Cox Radio will
become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cox Enterprises.  All remaining public
