Bright House Networks is a cable company owned by Advance/Newhouse, headquarted in Syracuse, New York. This cable service currently serves cable in Indianapolis, Orlando, Tampa Bay, Birmingham, west suburban Detroit and Bakersfield. Most of its business is concentrated in Central Florida, where Bright House is the dominant cable system in the Tampa Bay and Orlando TV markets.
These systems are all owned by the Time Warner Entertainment - Advance/Newhouse Partnership but, under a deal struck in 2003, Advance/Newhouse took direct management and operational responsibility for portion of the partnership cable systems roughly equal to their equity. Ostensibly, this was due to A/N's dissatisfaction with Time Warner Cable's strategic direction.
Before 1994, some of these systems were fully owned by A/N under the names Vision Cable and Cable Vision (no relation to Cablevision Systems). In some areas, Bright House is the successor to Teleprompter Cable TV, Group W Cable, Paragon Cable and the Time Warner Cable systems in Florida.
