News Summary:
WideOpenWest Inc. announced on June 18, 2026, an expansion of its all-fiber internet network to 20,000 additional homes and businesses in Seminole and Orange counties, Central Florida, by fall 2026. This expansion will bring the company's all-fiber network to nearly 75,000 homes and businesses in the region. This follows the affirmation of WideOpenWest Finance LLC's 'B-' rating on April 27, 2026, with S&P Global Ratings noting an expectation for negative free operating cash flow over the next few years due to elevated capital expenditure for fiber builds and network upgrades. S&P Global Ratings anticipated that DigitalBridge Investments LLC and Crestview Partners would likely support WOW with capital infusions. Earlier, on January 6, 2026, WideOpenWest Inc. appointed Patrick Bratton as Chief Financial Officer, effective January 7, 2026, to oversee Finance, Accounting, Tax, Financial Planning Analysis, Business Partnership, and Procurement. On the same date, DigitalBridge Group Inc. and Crestview Partners announced Frank van der Post's immediate appointment as Chief Executive Officer of WideOpenWest Inc., succeeding Teresa Elder, who retired after eight years of leadership.
