Breakup of Insight Midwest partnership

On Monday, April 2, 2007, Insight and Comcast announced that they were unraveling Insight Midwest partnership, a group of cable systems that were managed by Insight under the Insight name, but with equal ownership shared between Comcast and Insight. In the split Comcast acquired as direct customers the Illinois subscribers and most of the Indiana subscribers. Insight gained complete ownership of cable systems in Kentucky, Evansville, Indiana and Columbus, Ohio. This transaction removed Insight from the Illinois market, as well as much of the Indiana market.^[2]
