Cablevision Owns Bresnan... What Now?

Hey guys, as of yesterday, it's official. Cablevision owns Bresnan. What does that mean for us as Bresnan customers? Unfortunately, it doesn't mean an immediate full-on rebranding to Cablevision and Cablevision services. Bresnan is being operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary and there's no mention yet of rebranding. They have promised faster Internet, and more HD channels. Both of these are good things, though one can only assume some of the HD channels will likely be "adult themed" - Bresnan has been one of the very few cable operators (the only one maybe?) choosing to stay out of the lucrative "adult programming" business on moral grounds.

Anyways, other than that downside (and hey, no one has to subscribe to those channels if they do add them to Bresnan!), I really can only see upsides. Sure, I'd love to see the Cablevision service New York City has - huge channel selection, insane speeds, competitive pricing, free citywide Wi-Fi. But we are in a very different market. Just knowing that our market is owned by a company generally known for being the best-of-the-best in the cable industry gives me good cause for optimism.
