Allegiance Communications corporate headquarters are located in Shawnee, Oklahoma, with a basic subscriber base of more than 70,000 customers.[1]
History
Beginning in 2004 as a unit of The Wicks Group, Allegiance acquired small cable systems and subscribers in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. The company bought a large system with 29,000 subscribers from Charter Communications in 2006.[1][2] Upon purchase the headquarters became Shawnee, Oklahoma, containing one of the larger subscriber densities for Allegiance. Local services include cable TV, HD channel services, pay-per-view, high speed internet, and VOIP services. Allegiance also utilizes point to point wireless for enhanced penetration to rural areas with lower subscriber density.
