In order of number of basic subscribers
By Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 2/15/2004 7:00:00 PM
| Rank | System | Owner | Subscribers |
| Source: Local cable systems *Adelphia declined to release any subscriber information on its local systems, citing its ongoing legal problems. Last year, Adelphia reorganized its operations from seven major regions to five. The data cited here is from 2003, prior to the reorganization and should be used with care as the systems included in each region have changed. We have included this data because it is the only source for the relative size of these systems. Adelphia Central is not included because its systems do not correspond in any way to last year's data. The data for Southern California is a B&C estimate based on 2003 press releases from Adelphia. |
