Add Cox to the growing list of cable operators offering "family friendly" programming tiers. The $32/month package would include 40 channels, combining local TV stations from the basic tier with some well-known names from expanded basic like C-SPAN, Disney Channel, CNN Headline News, Nickelodeon and Discovery’s The Science Channel. Cox added that local systems "have the ability to tailor the package" by adding The Weather Channel, Weatherscan Local, C-SPAN2 or C-SPAN3 and religious and Spanish-language channels. In forming the Family Package, Cox said it sought channels that were effectively G-rated and that would not include "objectionable content or disturbing images.â€
