History
In 1949, entrepreneurs using simple antennas and Army-surplus coaxial cable created the country’s first cable television system and revolutionized the way Americans watched TV.
Time Warner Cable was formed in 1999 through the merger of Time Inc's American Television and Communications Corp. with Warner Cable.
Road Runner high speed Internet was first launched in 1995 in Elmira, NY.
In 2001, the company completed a nationwide system upgrade to create a hybrid fiber coaxial cable network, resulting in the development of new, exciting services including Digital Cable, Video on Demand, Digital Video Recorder, High Definition Television (HDTV), High Speed Online access via cable modem, Digital Phone, Start Over, Quick Clips, Active Advertising and more.
In 2002, the company launched video-on-demand, allowing customers to order programs and movies instantly from their TVs.
Time Warner Cable was officially spun off from Time Warner as an independent, publicly-traded company in March 2009.
Time Warner Cable launched two new sports networks in 2012 in Southern California called SportsNet featuring exclusive coverage of LA Lakers' games and Spanish-language Desportes.
In February 2014, Comcast announced plans to buy Time Warner Cable for $45 billion but dropped the plans in 2015 due to lack of regulatory approval.
