Why Them? With 2.3mln subs, Bright House is firmly entrenched as the 6th largest cable op. It’s the hard work of this father-son-daughter trio that keeps it there. Believing in being on the cutting edge, they invested with Comcast and TW Cable in Sprint’s Clearwire WiMax JV. Last fall they oversaw the rollout of switched digital video. Bright House also grew digital phone subs by more than 50% last year and passed the 600K sub mark, processing 200mln+ calls/month.

Proud Moment: Bright House Networks was honored at Kaitz as a Diversity Champion for creating the first 24-hr Spanish-language news channel.
