Through the deal, Cox has become the nation's first cable company to offer programmatic digital video ad inventory alongside local TV inventory, providing advertisers with a first to market local cross-screen advertising solution.

Simultaneously, they've established themselves as leaders in the programmatic TV space by making their inventory transparent and accessible."

"Agencies and ad buyers today are faced with tremendous challenges in finding target audiences across screens and programming options. We're pleased to be the first to market with a unique partnership that allows us to bring Cox Media ad buyers the combination of advertising opportunities on the best cable television content together with the advanced digital video and programmatic buying capabilities of TubeMogul," said Mike Zeigler, Vice President Business Development, Cox Media.
