In December 2008,{{cite web |title=Cox media units combining into Cox Media Group |url=https://www.bizjournals.com/louisville/stories/2008/12/01/daily48.html |website=bizjournals.com |date=December 4, 2008 |access-date=October 13, 2012}} Cox Enterprises created Cox Media Group (CMG) by merging Cox Newspapers,{{cite web|url=http://www.mediaowners.com/company/coxnewspapers.html |access-date=July 25, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110614060226/http://www.mediaowners.com/company/coxnewspapers.html |title=Cox Newspapers, Inc. profile and media properties|archive-date=June 14, 2011 }} Cox Radio, and Cox Television into one integrated digital media company. The creation of Cox Media Group was a departure from grouping subsidiaries based solely on publishing medium.{{cite web|url=http://www.mediaowners.com/company/coxmedia.html |access-date=July 25, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723073442/http://www.mediaowners.com/company/coxmedia.html |title=Cox Newspapers, Inc. profile and media properties|archive-date=July 23, 2011 }}

In August 2009, Cox Enterprises realigned its radio, television, newspaper/publishing, and digital assets into the same division.{{cite web |url=http://www.coxmediagroup.com/news/cmg-press-releases/cox-media-group-announces-new-integrated-media-org/nCq/ |title=Cox Media Group Announces New Integrated Media Organization | Cox Media Group |access-date=March 30, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402115956/http://www.coxmediagroup.com/news/cmg-press-releases/cox-media-group-announces-new-integrated-media-org/nCq/ |archive-date=April 2, 2015 }} Under the new structure, while the local brands remain independent, they share resources and some management. Dayton, Ohio, was considered the prototype for the media group, where radio, television, newspaper, and direct mail were all in the same market, and were combined into a new building.{{cite web |url=http://www.coxmediagroup.com/ohio/ |title=Ohio | Cox Media Group |access-date=March 30, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150324183937/http://www.coxmediagroup.com/ohio/ |archive-date=March 24, 2015 }} In other markets where the facilities are not as close together, they do share some senior management; for example, Houston and San Antonio Radio and the Austin American-Statesman newspaper all fall under the same regional vice president. In addition to the radio/TV stations and newspapers, Cox Media Group encompasses Cox Digital Solutions (digital sales for both Cox and non-Cox online and mobile properties), Cox Reps (national TV sales for station groups such as Gray and Tegna), Kudzu.com, Savings.com, and Valpak direct mail.{{cite web |url=http://www.coxmediagroup.com/about/ourproperties/ |title=Our Properties | Cox Media Group |access-date=March 30, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150327153020/http://www.coxmediagroup.com/about/ourproperties/ |archive-date=March 27, 2015 }}

CMG introduced a new group-buying discount program called DealSwarm in October 2010.{{cite web |url=http://www.coxmediagroup.com/news/cmg-press-releases/dealswarm-arrives-atlanta-austin-dayton-seattle-ou/nDY/ |title=The DealSwarm Arrives in Atlanta, Austin, Dayton, Seattle with O |date=October 12, 2010 |access-date=October 13, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120326122813/http://www.coxmediagroup.com/news/cmg-press-releases/dealswarm-arrives-atlanta-austin-dayton-seattle-ou/nDY/ |archive-date=March 26, 2012 }} DealSwarm provides online discounts at local businesses. The program is active in such Cox Media Group properties as Atlanta, Austin and Dayton.

In July 2012, CMG announced its intention to sell its radio stations in smaller markets: Birmingham, Greenville, Hawaii, Louisville, Richmond, and Southern Connecticut. It also intends to spin off its smaller-market television stations in El Paso, Johnstown, Reno, and Steubenville.{{cite web |url=http://www.coxmediagroup.com/news/cmg-press-releases/cox-media-group-purchases-new-tv-stations-jacksonv/nPy7J/ |title=Cox Media Group Purchases New TV Stations in Jacksonville,... | Cox Media Group |access-date=December 18, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130127165326/http://www.coxmediagroup.com/news/cmg-press-releases/cox-media-group-purchases-new-tv-stations-jacksonv/nPy7J/ |archive-date=January 27, 2013 }} The company said it intended to focus on larger markets or smaller markets that could be clustered together with other CMG properties.

In April 2013, CMG launched the online-only new site Rare.us as a conservative media source, originally with the tagline "Red is the Center", and more recently "America's News Feed".{{cite news|last1=O'Leary|first1=Sean|title=Cox Media Group cooks up America's News Feed|url=http://www.naa.org/Topics-and-Tools/Digital-Media/Social-Media/2014/rare-us-newsfeed.aspx|access-date=November 19, 2014|work=Newspaper Association of America|date=September 15, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140918130415/http://www.naa.org/Topics-and-Tools/Digital-Media/Social-Media/2014/rare-us-newsfeed.aspx|archive-date=September 18, 2014|url-status=dead}} After initially-low audience numbers, the site expanded dramatically following more prominent use of social media and a more diverse range of stories.

On February 12, 2013, CMG announced the sale of the Birmingham, Greenville, Hawaii, Louisville, and Richmond radio stations to SummitMedia, and the southern Connecticut stations to Connoisseur Media;{{cite news|last=Carlton|first=Bob|title=Cox Media sells Kiss, Jamz, WZZK, other Birmingham radio stations to group that includes David DuBose|url=http://www.al.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2013/02/cox_media_group_sells_its_birm.html|access-date=February 25, 2013|newspaper=The Birmingham News|date=February 12, 2013}} two weeks later, on February 25, the company announced the sale of the four television stations (and the local marketing agreement for a fifth) to Sinclair Broadcast Group.{{cite news|last=Malone|first=Michael|title=Sinclair to Acquire Five Cox Stations|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/492015-Sinclair_to_Acquire_Five_Cox_Stations.php|access-date=February 25, 2013|newspaper=Broadcasting & Cable|date=February 25, 2013}}

In October 2014, Cox Digital Solutions became Gamut. Smart Media from Cox., offering media solutions to address the evolution of over-the-top media services (OTT). With this transition, CMG will cover linear television and radio, and Gamut will focus on OTT/CTV.{{cite web | url=https://digitalcontentnext.org/blog/2014/10/14/cox-launches-gamut-new-company-offering-wide-range-solutions/| title=Cox Launches Gamut, a New Company Addressing Evolving Needs| date=October 14, 2014|publisher=Digital Content Next|access-date=May 26, 2020}}

On July 24, 2018, Cox Enterprises announced that it was "exploring strategic options" for Cox Media Group's television stations, which the company said could involve "partnering or merging these stations into a larger TV company."{{cite news |last1=Simon |first1=Mollie |title=Cox Enterprises looks to sell its TV stations |url=https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2018/07/24/cox-enterprises-looks-to-sell-its-tv-stations.html |access-date=July 24, 2018 |work=Atlanta Business Chronicle |date=July 24, 2018}} Cox Media Group's president, Kim Guthrie, subsequently clarified to trade publication Radio & Television Business Report that the company was solely seeking "a merger or partnership" and not an outright sale of the television stations.{{cite news |last1=Jacobson |first1=Adam |title=Cox On The Block: TV 'Merger or Partnership' Confirmed |url=https://www.rbr.com/cox-on-the-block-ajc-confirms-possible-tv-station-sale/ |access-date=July 25, 2018 |work=Radio & Television Business Report |date=July 24, 2018}}

On February 15, 2019, Cox announced that Apollo Global Management would acquire a majority interest in the CMG television stations, as well as the Dayton radio stations and Ohio newspapers (whose operations are integrated with WHIO-TV), forming a new company that retains Cox Media Group's management and operating structure; Cox Enterprises holds a minority stake in this company.{{cite news |last1=Trubey |first1=J.

In March 2019 filings with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Apollo disclosed that the new company, tentatively named Terrier Media, would purchase the Cox stations for $3.1 billion (reduced by the value of Cox's equity stake in Terrier).{{cite news |last1=Jessell |first1=Harry A. |title=Cox TV Valued At $3.1 Billion In Apollo Acquisition |url=https://tvnewscheck.com/article/top-news/231448/cox-tv-valued-3-1-billion-apollo-acquisition/ |access-date=March 6, 2019 |work=TV News Check |date=March 6, 2019}}

On March 18, 2019, the Atlanta Business Chronicle reported that Cox Enterprises was "exploring options" for its radio stations. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution would not be included in any potential deal for the stations.{{cite news |last1=Allison |first1=David |title=Cox Enterprises exploring options for its radio stations |url=https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2019/03/18/cox-enterprises-exploring-options-for-its-radio.html |access-date=March 19, 2019 |work=Atlanta Business Chronicle |date=March 18, 2019}}

On June 26, 2019, Cox announced that the radio stations, as well as national advertising business – CoxReps, and local OTT advertising agency - Gamut, would also be acquired by the Apollo Global Management-backed company, which concurrently announced that it would retain the Cox Media Group name instead of Terrier Media. As they would no longer be grandfathered, the new company must divest a radio station each in the Orlando and Tampa Bay markets.{{cite news |last1=Jacobson |first1=Adam |title=It's Official: Cox Radio, Gamut, CoxReps Going To Apollo |url=https://www.rbr.com/cox-media-group-radio-apollo/ |access-date=June 26, 2019 |work=Radio & Television Business Report |date=June 26, 2019}}

Both acquisitions, along with Apollo's concurrent $384 million acquisition of Northwest Broadcasting, were approved by the FCC on November 22, 2019, under conditions imposed after a federal court blocked changes to several FCC ownership policies. To comply with regulations prohibiting the cross-ownership of broadcast stations and daily newspapers (which the FCC had sought to repeal), CMG agreed to cut publication of its Ohio newspapers to three days a week within 30 days of the deal's completion; Cox Enterprises also reduced its stake in CMG to a nonattributable interest, eliminating an ownership conflict with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. CMG was also required to surrender the licenses to two of Northwest Broadcasting's stations, in Yuma, Arizona, and Syracuse, New York, where Northwest's existing duopolies did not comply with reinstated provisions of the FCC's duopoly rule.{{cite news |title=With FM Spins And Newspaper Sacrifices, FCC Approves Apollo Buyout Of Cox Media. |url=http://www.insideradio.com/free/with-fm-spins-and-newspaper-sacrifices-fcc-approves-apollo-buyout/article_949f2076-0f58-11ea-814d-f3fb783c1256.html |access-date=December 22, 2019 |work=Inside Radio |date=November 25, 2019 |language=en}}{{cite news |last1=Jacobson |first1=Adam |title=FCC OKs Foreign Dollars For Cox/Apollo With Deal's Approval {{!}} Radio & Television Business Report |url=https://www.rbr.com/fcc-oks-foreign-dollars-for-cox-apollo-with-deals-approval/ |access-date=December 22, 2019 |work=Radio & Television Business Report |date=November 25, 2019}} Cox announced the closing of the acquisition on December 17, 2019.[https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cox-enterprises-announces-close-of-cox-media-group-sale-to-affiliates-of-apollo-global-management-300976507.html "Cox Enterprises Announces Close of Cox Media Group Sale to Affiliates of Apollo Global Management"], prnewswire.com, December 17, 2019.

On February 10, 2020, Cox Enterprises announced it would repurchase the Dayton Daily News, Journal-News, and Springfield News-Sun from CMG, once again owning a 100% interest in the newspapers; the sale, which reunited the papers with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in Cox Enterprises' newspaper holdings, allowed them to continue daily publication despite the court ruling.{{cite news |last1=Kiesewetter |first1=John |title=Cox Keeps Dayton, Butler County And Springfield Newspapers In The Family |url=https://www.wvxu.org/post/cox-keeps-dayton-butler-county-and-springfield-newspapers-family |access-date=February 10, 2020 |publisher=WVXU |date=February 10, 2020 |language=en}} The sale was officially closed on March 2.[https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/jana-collier-named-publisher-cox-enterprises-ohio-newspapers/qoZM0VgLSd34dSx5mk1VLL/ "Jana Collier named publisher of Cox Enterprises' Ohio newspapers"], Dayton Daily News, March 2, 2020.

As part of the sale, Standard General will sell Standard Media's WDKA, WLNE, KBSI, and KLKN to CMG, and CMG will also acquire Tegna's stations in Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin (including WFAA, KHOU, and KVUE).
