Joining the TV Everywhere bandwagon, Cox Communications just debuted a site where subscribers can view tens of thousands of videos online. "With the launch of the new video portal, Cox is joining a number of operators and programmers that are offering authenticated access to on-demand and even live content online under the auspices of TV Everywhere," GigaOm writes.

Cox subscribers can now sign into www.cox.com/tv and gain access to more than 15,000 pieces of content from cable and broadcast networks. The portal is expected to boast a mix of broadcast content from ABC, Fox and NBC (sourced from Hulu), as well as content from cable networks TBS, TNT, TruTV, Adult Swim, HBO, EPIX, Cinemax and Vutopia.

At launch, according to GigaOm, Cox TV Online will have between 15,000 and 20,000 pieces of content, with the number of assets fluctuating over time as titles are added. A little late to the part, Time Warner and Comcast announced their plans for TV Everywhere nearly two years ago, with the first services being officially launched at the end of 2009.
