The Cox 11 Yule Log will be seen on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and was shot locally thanks to the hospitality of the Williamsburg Lodge. Local viewers will also have the opportunity to enjoy special holiday music and the Spoken Work presentations featuring classic performances by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Angela Lansbury, Walter Cronkite and others.
"We are delighted to deliver this holiday tradition that many people are so familiar with, and we hope that Cox can help make the Christmas holiday a festive and joyful occasion for our customers," said Gary McCollum, Senior Vice President and General Manager.

On November 5, 2009, Cox Communications, Inc. announced its intent to form a joint venture with Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc. for ownership and management of Travel Channel Media. Scripps Networks Interactive will control the joint venture and the network will be run as part of the company's growing portfolio of lifestyle media brands. This concludes an exploratory process that Cox began with their exclusive advisors Goldman, Sachs & Co. in June.
Under the terms of the agreement which is effective today and anticipated to close over the next few months, Cox will maintain a 35 percent stake in Travel Channel Media while Scripps will have a 65 percent interest. Cox will contribute the Travel Channel and Scripps Networks Interactive will contribute $181 million in cash to a newly created partnership. The partnership, in turn, will take on $878 million in third-party debt that will be guaranteed by Scripps and indemnified by Cox, with the proceeds to be distributed to Cox.
"This solid partnership we're establishing today allows us to maintain an interest in Travel Channel while at the same time giving the network an opportunity to leverage the resources and expertise of a successful programmer like Scripps Networks Interactive," said Cox Communications' President Patrick Esser. "Scripps has an outstanding reputation as a company, an employer and a programmer. Over the past 15 years, Scripps Networks Interactive has built a portfolio of leading lifestyle programming brands and we think this complementary expertise will be a boon to Travel Channel's future growth."
Launched in 1987, Travel Channel has grown to become one of America's best known cable television networks, today reaching about 95 million U.S. television households. The television network, the cornerstone of Travel Channel Media, supports a growing range of cross-platform initiatives including Internet, mobile and social media applications. Cox became sole owner of Travel Channel in 2007. Since then, distribution grew from 87 million to 95 million homes.

I am disgusted at this representation of Americans' writing and grammar skills.
James: It's "our" new channel...
Rick: It's "you're" in Texas...
Jack; It's "There" is a reason...
Josh: You're just stupid
You all sound like retards. Wait, retarded people can probably write better than you.
JC's is correct, and by the way, his opinion is also correct.
