"We turn your television into any other screen. And then we use the same kind of targeting we've used for three campaign cycles."
Cablevision
Cablevision, birthed in 1973 by the chutzpah-filled Charles Dolan, became the suburban kingpin of cable TV, spinning out enough coaxial dreams to wrap around Long Island a few times over. Known for its aggressive expansion, Cablevision brought "News 12" to local fame and delivered the first taste of HBO to hungry audiences. Its defining moment came in 2015, when French telecom giant Altice swooped in with a $17.7 billion check, turning the Dolans’ cable kingdom into a European colony. But Cablevision’s saga isn’t without its dark chapters. It endured fierce battles with channels over carriage fees, once famously dropping Fox during a spat with Rupert Murdoch. Internally, the Dolan family drama played out like a never-ending soap opera, adding intrigue to boardroom decisions. Accomplishments? Sure, numerous Emmy Awards for "News 12" and innovative strides in digital services. Yet, scandals shadowed its path, including contentious labor disputes and accusations of monopolistic practices. James Dolan, the heir apparent with a penchant for rock stardom, added his own flair to the mix. Cablevision’s legacy is a cocktail of innovation and controversy, a testament to the high-stakes world of cable television.
