Prior to 1994, some of the systems were fully owned by Advance/Newhouse under the names Vision Cable and Cable Vision (no relation to Cablevision Systems), while in other areas, Bright House Networks is the successor to Teleprompter Cable TV, Group W Cable, Strategic Cable,Paragon Cable, Shaw Communications and the Tampa Bay / Orlando Time Warner Cable systems in Florida.
All of the systems now owned by Bright House Networks were owned by the Time Warner Entertainment - Advance/Newhouse Partnership. Under a deal struck in 2003, Advance/Newhouse took direct management and operational responsibility for the portion of the partnership cable systems roughly equal to their equity.. Bright House Networks offers video, high-speed data and voice services. In addition, Bright House Networks operates two regional local news channels -- Bay News 9 in the Tampa Bay market, and Central Florida News 13 in the Orlando market.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“This above all makes history useful and desirable: it unfolds before our eyes a glorious record of exemplary actions.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
