Cable in the Classroom

Founded in 1989, Cable in the Classroom is a public-service initiative of the cable television industry in which local cable operators and national cable programmers provide schools with free basic cable service. The program represents an investment of over $420 million by the cable industry to enhance the resources of schools with more than 540 hours of commercial-free educational television programming each month. Cox also supports Cable in the Classroom Institute, created to teach the effective use of computers and the Internet. The Institute provides teachers and parents with an educational training program that includes a traveling laptop lab; virtual workshops; and four computer labs in Washington, D.C., sponsored by The Smithsonian Institution.

Through Cox Cable in the Classroom, our company provides local schools with free subscriptions to the Cable in the Classroom monthly program guide, technical support, teacher training, as well as critical viewing workshops.
