Editing Cable One (section)

==History==
Originally established in 1986 as a subsidiary of [[Graham Holdings Company]] known as '''Post-Newsweek Cable''', its name was changed to Cable One in 1997. 

In June 2015, Graham Holdings Company distributed 100% of Cable One’s common stock to GHC shareholders in a tax-free transaction. Cable One became an independent publicly traded company as Cable One, Inc. and began trading on the [[New York Stock Exchange]] under the ticker symbol CABO.<ref>{{Cite web |title=U.S. SEC filing -Cable ONE Information Statement| url= https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1632127/000119312515213483/d869451dex991.htm

In summer 2019, Cable One rebranded its residential services division as Sparklight, seeking to promote its internet services more than cable TV offerings.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Farrell |first1=Mike |title=Cable One to Become Sparklight in Summer 2019 |url=https://www.nexttv.com/news/cableone-to-become-sparklight-in-summer-2019 |website=Multichannel News|date=12 December 2018 }}</ref> Equipment with Cable One branding is still used by existing customers, with new customers receiving equipment with Sparklight branding.

Sparklight provides broadband service via cable ([[DOCSIS]]) through most of its footprint, and fiber-to-the-home in limited areas. 

Sparklight provides phone service plans such as Economy Phone, Standard Phone, and Elite Package with Starter Plan Plus.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sparklight.com/Pages/phone.aspx|title=Landline Phone Service for your Home {{!}} Sparklight|website=www.sparklight.com|language=en|access-date=2019-11-13}}</ref>

Sparklight offers three cable TV plans: Economy Cable TV, Standard Cable TV, and Elite 100 Plus.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sparklight.com/Pages/cabletv.aspx|title=Cable TV Packages with Online Streaming {{!}} Sparklight|website=www.sparklight.com|language=en|access-date=2019-11-13}}</ref> Cable TV can also be accessed on Apple [[iPhone]], [[Android (operating system)|Android]], [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], [[Roku]], [[Xbox One]], [[Xbox 360]], and [[Barnes & Noble Nook|Nook]] through Sparklight's TV Everywhere service. Sparklight offers a Digital Value Pack which includes channels such as Red Zone, [[HBO]], and [[Showtime (TV network)|Showtime]] as add-ons. Cable channels owned by [[Paramount Global]] that were owned by [[Viacom (2005–2019)|Viacom]] before the merger with [[CBS Corporation]] that formed Paramount are notably absent from Cable One's lineup after 2014 due to disagreements between Viacom and Cable One.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.sparklight.com/news/viacom-channels-removed-from-cable-one-line-up | title=Viacom Channels Removed from Cable ONE Line-Up }}</ref>

In 2020, Cable One announced a new [[IPTV]]-based service, Sparklight TV, which was made available to many areas throughout 2021. Existing cable customers are not yet required to transfer to Sparklight TV, but cable through a cable box is no longer offered to new customers.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://support.sparklight.com/hc/en-us/articles/4413555770903-Sparklight-Cable-Customers-Transitioning-to-Sparklight-TV | title=Sparklight Cable Customers Transitioning to Sparklight TV }}</ref>
