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.

“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
