Atlantic’s chief executive officer, Richard Shea, said, “After our highly successful acquisition and integration of the MetroCast Connecticut system almost two years ago, we understand first-hand the sizable residential and business growth potential that we can expect with the remaining MetroCast systems. We look forward to welcoming MetroCast customers and employees to Atlantic Broadband.”MetroCast spokesman Andy Walton said that, until the sale goes through, the company will continue to serve the communities where it has customers. “No immediate changes are planned by MetroCast that will affect our customers, and the transition should be seamless for our customers,” he said. “The acquisition of the MetroCast cable systems allows Atlantic Broadband to increase its presence in the growing and lucrative U.S. cable market,” said Cogeco CEO Louis Audet. “The MetroCast systems are a strong, strategic fit for Atlantic Broadband.
