Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Celebrate the story of Tele-Communications, the company better known as TCI, with a shirt for fans of communications history. Founded in Bozeman in 1958 through two commonly owned businesses, TCI merged in 1968 and moved its operations to Denver. Its growth through cable-system acquisitions made it the largest cable operator in the United States by 1982. The 1999 AT&T acquisition marked a new corporate chapter, while later transfers of cable systems carried that history into other companies. A conversation starter for collectors and cable-era enthusiasts.
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.
