Northwestern Indiana Telephone Co. said it has purchased TV Cable of Rensselaer and Morroco for an undisclosed sum.

Based in Hebron, Ind., TV Cable has been in business since 1966 and provides ZING Cable TV, high-speed internet and voice services to residential and business customers in southern Jasper and Newton counties in the state.

“For over 50 years our family has served the community well, first with cable TV and then with the onset of the internet," TV Cable president Steve Filson said in a statement. "Today we hand the keys to NITCO with the knowledge that family-owned companies like ours and like NITCO, believe in quality service and active participation in the community.”  

NITCO has about 8,000 residential and 900 business customers in its service territory.
