Suddenlink completed its buy of several cable systems in Texas from Northland Communications, Suddenlink said in a news release Thursday. The cable systems operate in the Texas communities of Gun Barrel City, Flint and New Caney, and have more than 12,000 residential customers and nearly 300 commercial customers. Suddenlink owns nearby systems in Texas communities Terrell, Tyler and Kingwood, and “there is an opportunity to interconnect the Northland systems with nearby Suddenlink systems,” the release said. Suddenlink said it “expects to retain substantially all local employees and plans to communicate specific plans for the acquired systems to customers and community leaders in the months ahead."
