9.17.15 - The Dolans, the Clan That Built the Cablevision Empire, Say Goodbye
"Starting with 1,500 subscribers on Long Island more than 40 years ago, the Dolan family built one of America’s cable fortunes."
“Since Charles Dolan founded Cablevision in 1973, the Dolan family has been honored to help shepherd our customers and employees through the most extraordinary communications revolution in modern history,” James L. Dolan, the company’s chief executive and Charles Dolan’s son, said in a statement. “Now, nearly half a century later, the time is right for new ownership of Cablevision and its considerable assets.”
