Cox.. gone?

I just got an email that Cox is now owned by Spectrum. Uh.. who the f is spectrum? Didn't Spectrum have some controversial merger or am I thinking of some other conglomerate?

I've been wondering why cox has been trying to call me the last couple days. I had a weird call from them I hung up on asking how I thought my service has been and it's like I'm not gonna do a free unsolicited survey for you, lol.
