Zito Media, the Potter County, Pennsylvania-based cable operator owned by James Rigas, has purchased cable systems in California and Colorado from USA Communications. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

USA Communications earlier sold systems in Alabama to Hargray Communications. In both the Hargray and Zito Media deals, B. Riley FBR served as USA Communications’ exclusive financial advisor.

Zito Media, formed in 2006, provides TV, high-speed internet and digital phone services to communities in 19 states. 

Hargray Communications said it has completed its purchase of certain assets of USA Communications in Pell City, Alabama and surrounding areas. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Hargray first announced the deal in January. 

Hargray said it will dedicate additional financial resources to grow USA Communications' network over the coming months, providing next generation products like Wall-to-Wall WiFi, digital TV with expanded viewing options and phone. Commercial customers will enjoy enhanced data, voice, and video services including Hosted Unified Communications, Metro-Ethernet, Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Internet, and customized video services.

"Hargray's approach is to fully engage in the communities it serves, and we look forward to the opportunity to join, serve, and engage local residents and businesses of this beautiful region,” said Hargray vice president of sales and operations Gwynne Lastinger in a press release. “We will deliver the same high-quality suite of residential and commercial services that we are known for in South Carolina and Georgia with personalized, local customer care."

Michael McHugh at B. Riley FBR, Inc. was financial advisor to USA Communications for this transaction.

The deal, expected to close in early 2019, involves USA Communications systems in Pell City, Ala. and surrounding areas.

“We look forward to building upon USA Communications’ recent network investments and will deliver the fastest Internet service in town, a very high quality residential video service, and superior communications products and solutions to the businesses in the USA Communications’ service territory,” Hargray chairman & CEO Michael Gottdenker said in a statement.

Hargray plans to dedicate additional financial resources over the next year to grow USA Communications’ network to provide next-generation products and services to its residential customers.

“We are proud of what we have accomplished with this system over the last few years, but as we look toward the future of communications and entertainment services, it is our belief that Hargray’s larger scale and unique combination of technological expertise and community focus makes them the best possible choice to provide advanced telecommunications services to our communities,” USA Communications CEO Chris Hilliard said in a statement.
