CABO

Cable One, Inc.

A broadband provider that brings high-speed internet, cable TV, and phone service to smaller and mid-sized communities across roughly two dozen U.S. states, mostly under the Sparklight brand (alongside Hargray, Fidelity, and ValuNet). It began in 1986 as Post-Newsweek Cable, a division of The Washington Post Company created by Katharine Graham to branch beyond newspapers, and was renamed Cable One in 1997 before being spun off into its own company in 2015. In 2019 it rebranded its customer-facing service as Sparklight, a name chosen to evoke the speed and connectivity of the internet it now focuses on.
