Va. Cox customers lose signal during World Series

WASHINGTON (AP) Cox Cable customers in northern Virginia lost their signal for hours during the New York Yankees' World Series victory game.

Company officials say customers from Fairfax County to Fredericksburg lost their television signal Wednesday night due to a disruption in the digital cable service. Cox spokeswoman Gwen Sparks tells The Washington Post that crews were working to identify the problem and restore service.

Sparks could not estimate how many customers were affected.

New York beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 in Game 6 on Wednesday.
