Meet Dennis McGillicuddy in this episode.
Back in the 1960s, cable TV was strictly a rural thing. Cable was used to bring local broadcast TV signals to small communities that couldn't pick them up from nearby cities. It was small, but big changes were on the horizon. In 1968, a young lawyer named Dennis McGillicuddy joined two partners to form Coaxial Communications, a fledgling company that served about 200 customers in rural Florida.
