Fast facts the Fool way.

On Nov. 8, Cox Radio (NYSE:CXR) released third-quarter earnings for the period ended Sept. 30.

  • Sales declined by 0.5% to $112.7 million, primarily because of decreased local revenues that were partially offset by increased national and other revenues.
  • The 12% rise in net income was mostly thanks to lower income tax expenses.
  • The company last year authorized a stock repurchase program of $100 million and has since repurchased shares worth $84.8 million.
  • Cox Radio is not yet rated by the Motley Fool CAPS community. Be the first to make your opinion known! It's free.
