History
Bresnan Communications began operations in 1984 with the purchase of five cable systems located on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. During the next 14 years, Bresnan grew quickly, acquiring more systems across Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Mississippi and Georgia. The company also made acquisitions abroad in both Chile and Poland.
By 1997, Bresnan had upgraded the majority of its domestic systems with a hybrid fiber-coaxial architecture, offering more than 80% of its U.S. customers some of the most advanced technology and services available to suburban and rural communities in the Midwest. The company continued to upgrade most of the systems it acquired through the end of the decade. Internationally, Bresnan has developed diversified broadband operations that have significantly improved the array of entertainment, information and communications services available in the countries in which it operated.
Bresnan has always reached beyond cable’s traditional residential customer base, leveraging its broadband technology to provide custom high-speed data solutions to the business, education, government and healthcare communities. The company continues to do so today through its commercial division, Bresnan Business Services. A single-source provider of flexible data networking solutions, the Business Services division designs and implements secure, reliable solutions that equip customers, regardless of size, to meet the critical demands of an integrated telecommunications environment.
The company believes that a solid relationship with customers and the larger community is critical to its long-term success. Through its public affairs initiatives, Bresnan has always committed its experience and its resources to enhancing the lives of residents in the communities it serves. That commitment has garnered the Cable Television Public Affairs Association’s highest honor, the President’s Award for outstanding achievement in public affairs. Across its long history, Bresnan has repeatedly received industry recognition for its innovative customer service initiatives as well.
Today, Bresnan Communications operates in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and Utah.
