Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Tele-Communications grew from early community television roots into a major force in American cable. Its story began in Bozeman in 1958, moved to Denver after a 1968 merger, and reached a milestone when TCI became the largest cable operator in the country in 1982. This embroidered dad cap hat celebrates the company’s place in communications history and its evolution through acquisitions, a 1999 AT&T transition, and the changing landscape of cable service.
Tele-Communications, Inc. (TCI) began in 1958 in Bozeman, Montana, as two commonly owned businesses, Western Microwave, Inc. and Community Television, Inc. The companies merged in 1968, moved operations to Denver, Colorado, and adopted the Tele-Communications name. TCI went public in 1970 and expanded through cable-system acquisitions, becoming the largest cable operator in the United States by 1982 under CEO John Malone. Bob Magness, a founder and longtime chairman, remained influential in the company. TCI acquired United Artists’ remaining cable interests in 1991 and bought cable assets from Viacom in 1995. A proposed merger with Bell Atlantic, discussed in 1993 and 1994, did not proceed. In 1997, TCI merged with Kearns-Tribune Corp. On March 9, 1999, AT&T completed its acquisition of TCI, which became AT&T Broadband and Internet Services. Comcast acquired the remainder of TCI’s cable television systems in 2002. Cable assets from the AT&T transaction were also later acquired in select markets by Charter Communications, Cox Communications, Cablevision, and Comcast.
