Company Overview
We're sort of a cable company. That's certainly where our roots are, as we were founded in 1985 by a couple of entrepreneurial guys who went on to spend over 30 years in the cable business. But in the last decade we have become much more. We're now a phone company and an Internet company as well.

We provide our three services - cable, phone and high-speed Internet access - to more than 650,000 customers in the Midwest. The majority of our customers are in Kentucky. Louisville is our single largest service area, but we also serve areas in and around Lexington, Covington and Bowling Green, as well as communities in Evansville and southern Indiana and neighborhoods in Columbus, Ohio
