Shenandoah Telecommunications Co. is expanding.
Edinburg-based Shentel plans to purchase Big Sandy Broadband, a cable television, broadband Internet and phone provider in eastern Kentucky’s Floyd and Johnson counties.
“Big Sandy has been family-owned for nearly 60 years, “ Dave Heimbach, Shentel’s COO, said in a statement. “We appreciate those strong roots. Shentel was founded in 1902, and has a long history of serving rural areas like Floyd and Johnson counties.”
The purchase price was not disclosed.
Shentel said the deal will include all of Big Sandy’s assets along with current customers. Employees of Big Sandy have been offered jobs with Shentel.
