Beginning in February 2017, Cox began to rebrand their various local origination as YurView. [1] The networks continued to broadcast local high school and college sports, as well as other non-sports programming of local interest. New national programming was also added. Two of the first new shows launched were Dash to the Desert, a show offering analysis of the NCAA tournament and Tech Trends, a show featuring highlights from the Consumer Electronics Show. [2] [3]
