The company incorporated in 1972 under the name “Adelphia,” from the Greek word for
“brothers.” The little group of five small-town cable systems grew slowly but steadily through the
1970s, but things changed once Rigas’s three sons, Michael, Tim, and James, joined the company in
the early 1980s.
In 1985, Adelphia more than doubled its subscriber base to 122,500 by acquiring a cable system in
Ocean County, NJ. The following year, Tim and James persuaded their father to take the company
public.
Adelphia went public with a dual-class structure that gave its founding family effective control of
the company and the board of directors.
In 1996, Adelphia’s subscriber base exceeded one million for the first time, but the really fast
growth was yet to come.
In 1999, at the height of the boom, Adelphia made three large cable-system acquisitions in a single
month
