Cable Atlantic

Cable Atlantic Inc. (originally Avalon Cablevision Ltd.) was a cable television provider serving much of the population of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The company's primary owner throughout its history was Danny Williams, although ownership was shared with other investors from time to time.

As Avalon Cablevision Ltd., the company secured the cable TV franchise for the St. John's/Mount Pearl area (on the Avalon Peninsula, hence the name). It became Cable Atlantic on March 20, 1990 after acquiring cablesystems in the three next largest Newfoundland and Labrador communities: Corner Brook (previously Shellbird Cable), Gander (previously Omni Cablevision Ltd), and Grand Falls-Windsor (previously Central Cable Systems Ltd). However, most rural areas of the province were served by N1 Cable (later Regional Cable, Persona, and most recently EastLink).

Cable Atlantic also operated a provincial dial-up Internet provider, "The Zone", and a competitive local exchange carrier that provided telephone services to businesses and the provincial government. It also offered Road Runner cable Internet service under licence from Time Warner Cable, whereas most Canadian cable companies were at the time using the rival @Home Network backed by TCI and Comcast.
