Why did Cablevision buy them in the 1st placeWhy did Cablevision buy them 2 yrs ago if they weren't going to keep them. Was it a buy cheap and sell later when prices are up deal? Or did Cablevision relaize they weren't going to make money on those rural customers? |

But low(ish) and sell high(er) It's well outside CV's home territory which makes long term expansion or even hold and mange too expensive. The other all have adjoining property and area management which makes it good for future growth. Both cash and trades are probably tempting for CV. |

It think Tom Rutledge likes them. He doesn't want to live in Montana (or Missouri) but he must see something in those way out west customers! Of course from a Connecticut perspective, I suppose Missouri is also out there. |

Bresnan made decent money, I would have to assume Cablevision made decent money as well. When its CenturyLink or some no-name telco as the competition... They charge a premium. |

I see TWC trying to take the systems as TWC has some systems in the Rockies (CO) and Idaho and Washington state. Would seem these would expand their coverage in the Northwest as they did with their purchases of Insight and the KY and TN New Wave systems that were former charter areas that were Time Warner Cable in the 90s-early 2000s. |
