Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of us and our subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Comprehensive income is equal to net income for all periods presented. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The accounting estimates that require management’s most difficult and subjective judgments include: assessment and valuation of intangibles, accounts receivable allowance, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and capitalized labor. Actual results could differ from those and other estimates. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. Revenue Recognition Video, high speed data (“HSD”), phone and business services revenues are recognized when the services are provided to our customers. We generally bill customers in advance for the services and equipment they have chosen to use and record such amounts as deferred revenue until the services are provided and the equipment is used. Credit risk is managed by disconnecting services to customers who are deemed to be delinquent. Installation revenues are recognized as customer connections are completed because installation revenues are less than direct installation costs. Advertising sales are recognized in the period that the advertisements are exhibited. Deposits and up-front Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts represents our best estimate of probable losses in the accounts receivable balance. The allowance is based on the number of days outstanding, customer balances, recoveries, historical experience and other currently available information. Concentration of Credit Risk Our accounts receivable are comprised of amounts due from customers in varying regions throughout the United States. Concentration of credit risk with respect to these receivables is limited due to the large number of customers comprising our customer base and their geographic dispersion. We invest our cash with high quality financial institutions. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Additions to property, plant and equipment generally include material, labor and indirect costs. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives: Buildings 10 - 40 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of: life of respective lease or life of asset Cable systems, equipment and customer devices 5-20 Vehicles 4-5 Furniture, fixtures, and office equipment 5 years We capitalize improvements that extend asset lives and expense repairs and maintenance as incurred. At the time of retirements, write-offs, sales or other dispositions of property, the original cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gains or losses are included in depreciation and amortization expense in the consolidated statement of operations. We capitalize the costs associated with the construction of cable transmission and distribution facilities, new customer installations and indirect costs associated with our phone service. Costs include direct labor and material, as well as certain indirect costs including capitalized interest. We perform periodic evaluations of the estimates used to determine the amount and extent that such costs are capitalized. Any changes to these estimates, which may be significant, are applied in the period in which the evaluations were completed. The costs of disconnecting service at a customer’s dwelling or reconnecting to a previously installed dwelling are charged as expense in the period incurred. Costs associated with subsequent installations of additional services not previously installed at a customer’s dwelling are capitalized to the extent such costs are incremental and directly attributable to the installation of such additional services. See Note 3. Capitalized Software Costs We account for internal-use 350-40- Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Internal-Use Marketing and Promotional Costs Marketing and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and were $38.6 million, $35.7 million and $31.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Intangible Assets Our cable systems operate under non-exclusive Intangibles — Goodwill and Other We follow the provisions of ASC 350 to test our goodwill and franchise rights for impairment. We assess the fair values of our reporting unit using the Excess Earnings Method of the Income Approach as our discounted cash flow (“DCF”) methodology, under which the fair value of cable franchise rights are determined in a direct manner. We employ the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method to calculate the fair values of our cable franchise rights, using unobservable inputs (Level 3). This assessment involves significant judgment, including certain assumptions and estimates that determine future cash flow expectations and other future benefits, which are consistent with the expectations of buyers and sellers of cable systems in determining fair value. These assumptions and estimates include discount rates, estimated growth rates, terminal growth rates, comparable company data, revenues per customer, market penetration as a percentage of homes passed and operating margin. We also consider market transactions, market valuations, research analyst estimates and other valuations using multiples of operating income before depreciation and amortization to confirm the reasonableness of fair values determined by the DCF methodology. We also employ the Greenfield model to corroborate the fair values of our cable franchise rights determined under the In-use Based on the guidance outlined in ASC 350, we have determined that the unit of accounting or reporting unit, for testing goodwill and franchise rights is Mediacom Broadband. Comprising cable system clusters across several states, Mediacom Broadband is at the financial reporting level that is managed and reviewed by the corporate office (i.e., chief operating decision maker) including our determination as to how we allocate capital resources and utilize the assets. The reporting unit level also reflects the level at which the purchase method of accounting for our acquisitions was originally recorded. In accordance with ASC 350, we are required to determine goodwill impairment using a two-step The impairment test for our franchise rights and other intangible assets not subject to amortization consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the excess is recognized as an impairment loss. Since our adoption of ASC 350 in 2002, we have not recorded any impairments as a result of our impairment testing. We monitor the reporting unit for impairment throughout each of the reporting periods. We completed our most recent impairment test as of October 1, 2017, which reflected no impairment of our franchise rights, goodwill or other intangible assets. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, no impairments were recorded. We could record impairments in the future if there are changes in the long-term fundamentals of our business, in general market conditions or in the regulatory landscape that could prevent us from recovering the carrying value of our long-lived intangible assets. The economic conditions affecting the U.S. economy, and how that may impact the fundamentals of our business, may have a negative impact on the fair values of the assets in our reporting unit. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28 When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) The following table details changes in the carrying value of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (dollars in thousands): Balance - December 31, 2015 $ 195,945 Acquisitions — Dispositions — Balance - December 31, 2016 195,945 Acquisitions — Dispositions — Balance - December 31, 2017 $ 195,945 Segment Reporting ASC 280 — Segment Reporting Accounting for Derivative Instruments We account for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815 — Derivatives and Hedging one-to-one Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations We adopted ASC 410 — Asset Retirement Obligations rights-of-way Upon adoption of ASC 410, we determined that in certain instances, we are obligated by contractual terms or regulatory requirements to remove facilities or perform other remediation activities upon the retirement of our assets. We initially recorded a $1.8 million asset in property, plant and equipment and a corresponding liability of $1.8 million. As of both December 31, 2017 and 2016, the corresponding asset, net of accumulated amortization, was $0. See Note 3. Accounting for Long-Lived Assets In accordance with ASC 360 — Property, Plant and Equipment Programming Costs We have various fixed-term carriage contracts to obtain programming for our cable systems from content suppliers whose compensation is generally based on a fixed monthly fee per video customer. These programming contracts are subject to negotiated renewal. Programming costs are recognized when we distribute the related programming. These programming costs are usually payable each month based on calculations performed by us and are subject to adjustments based on the results of periodic audits by the content suppliers. Historically, such audit adjustments have been immaterial to our total programming costs.

While our interest rate swaps are subject to contractual terms that provide for the net settlement of transactions with counterparties, we do not offset assets and liabilities under these agreements for financial statement presentation purposes, and assets and liabilities are reported on a gross basis. As of December 31, 2017, we recorded a current asset of $2.2 million and no current liability, long-term asset or long-term liability. As of December 31, 2016, we recorded a long-term asset of $1.1 million, a current liability in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $1.8 million and no current asset or long-term liability.

The credit facility is collateralized by our ownership interests in our operating subsidiaries and is guaranteed by us on a limited recourse basis to the extent of such ownership interests. As of December 31, 2017, the credit agreement governing the credit facility (the “credit agreement”) required our operating subsidiaries to maintain a total leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of no more than 5.0 to 1.0 and an interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of no less than 2.0 to 1.0. For all periods through December 31, 2017, our operating subsidiaries were in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement. As of the same date, the credit agreement allowed for the full or partial repayment of any outstanding debt under the credit facility any time prior to maturity, subject to certain prices and conditions specified in the credit agreement. Revolving Credit Commitments On November 2, 2017, we terminated our existing revolving credit commitments and, on the same date, entered into a new credit agreement that provided for $375.0 million of new revolving credit commitments, which are scheduled to expire on November 2, 2022. Borrowings under the revolver bear interest at a floating rate or rates equal to, at our discretion, LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%, or the Prime Rate plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.75%. Commitment fees on the unused portion of the revolver are payable at a rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.50%. The applicable margin and commitment fees charged are determined by certain financial ratios pursuant to the credit agreement. The revolver expires on the earliest of (i) November 2, 2022; (ii) 91 days prior to the final maturity of any term loan under the credit facility if $200.0 million or more remains under such term loan on that date; or (iii) six months prior to the scheduled maturity of any affiliated subordinated indebtedness that is then outstanding. As of December 31, 2017, we had $333.2 million of unused revolving credit commitments, all of which were available to be borrowed and used for general corporate purposes, after giving effect to $32.1 million of outstanding loans and $9.7 million of letters of credit issued to various parties as collateral. Term Loan A-1 On November 2, 2017, we entered into a new credit agreement that provided for a new term loan in the original principal amount of $250.0 million (“Term Loan A-1”). A-1 A-1 Borrowings under Term Loan A-1 Term Loan M On November 2, 2017, we entered into a new credit agreement that provided for a new term loan in the original principal amount of $800.0 million (“Term Loan M”). After giving effect to $9.2 million of financing costs, net proceeds of $790.8 million from Term Loan M were used to fund the repayment of certain previously existing term loans and outstanding balances under our previously existing revolving credit facility. Term Loan M matures on January 15, 2025 and, since December 31, 2017, has been subject to quarterly principal payments of $2.0 million, representing 0.25% of the original principal amount, with a final payment at maturity of $742.0 million, representing 92.75% of the original principal amount. If on or before May 2, 2018, we prepay Term Loan M from the proceeds of a substantially concurrent borrowing of term loans with an interest rate applicable to Term Loan M (calculated as provided in the credit agreement), then the prepayment shall be accompanied by a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loan M prepaid. Borrowings under Term Loan M bear interest at a floating rate or rates equal to, at our discretion, LIBOR plus a margin of 2.00%, subject to a minimum LIBOR of 0.75%, or the Prime Rate plus a margin of 1.00%, subject to a minimum Prime Rate of 1.75%. Interest Rate Swaps We have entered into several interest rate exchange agreements (which we refer to as “interest rate swaps”) with various banks to fix the variable rate on a portion of our borrowings under the credit facility to reduce the potential volatility in our interest expense that may result from changes in market interest rates. Our interest rate swaps have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and have been accounted for on a mark-to-market As of December 31, 2017, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the credit facility, including the effect of our interest rate swaps, was 3.4%. Senior Notes As of December 31, 2017, we had $500.0 million of outstanding senior notes, comprising $200.0 million of 5 1 2 1 2 3 8 3 8 Our senior notes are unsecured obligations and, as of December 31, 2017, the indentures governing our senior notes (the “indentures”) limits the incurrence of additional indebtedness based upon a maximum debt to operating cash flow ratio (as defined in the indentures) of 8.5 to 1.0. For all periods through December 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the indentures. 5 1 2 On March 17, 2014, we issued the 5 1 2 1 2 As a percentage of par value, the 5 1 2 6 3 8 On August 28, 2012, we issued the 6 3 8 3 8 As a percentage of par value, the 6 3 8 On March 2, 2018, we called for the redemption on April 2, 2018 of the entire $300.0 million principal amount outstanding of the 6 3 8 Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt Loss on early extinguishment of debt totaled $2.6 million, $1.2 million and $4.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which represented the write-off Debt Ratings MCC’s corporate credit ratings are currently Ba2 by Moody’s, with a positive outlook, and BB by Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”), with a stable outlook, and our senior unsecured ratings are currently B1 by Moody’s, with a positive outlook, and B+ by S&P, with a stable outlook. There are no covenants, events of default, borrowing conditions or other terms in the credit agreement or indentures that are based on changes in our credit rating assigned by any rating agency. Fair Value and Debt Maturities The fair values of our senior notes and outstanding debt under the credit facility (which were calculated based upon market prices of such issuances in an active market when available) were as follows as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 (dollars in thousands): December 31, 2017 2016 5 1 2 $ 203,750 $ 205,500 6 3 8 312,000 316,500 Total senior notes $ 515,750 $ 522,000 Bank credit facility $ 1,078,995 $ 1,135,633 The scheduled maturities of all debt outstanding as of December 31, 2017 are as follows (dollars in thousands): Bank Credit Facility Senior Revolving Credit Term Loans Notes Total January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 $ — $ 20,500 $ — $ 20,500 January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 — 20,500 — 20,500 January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 — 20,500 — 20,500 January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 — 20,500 200,000 220,500 January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 32,125 204,875 — 237,000 Thereafter — 758,000 300,000 1,058,000 Total $ 32,125 $ 1,044,875 $ 500,000 $ 1,577,000

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2017
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements	Basis of Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of us and our subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Comprehensive income is equal to net income for all periods presented. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The accounting estimates that require management’s most difficult and subjective judgments include: assessment and valuation of intangibles, accounts receivable allowance, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and capitalized labor. Actual results could differ from those and other estimates.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Video, high speed data (“HSD”), phone and business services revenues are recognized when the services are provided to our customers. We generally bill customers in advance for the services and equipment they have chosen to use and record such amounts as deferred revenue until the services are provided and the equipment is used. Credit risk is managed by disconnecting services to customers who are deemed to be delinquent. Installation revenues are recognized as customer connections are completed because installation revenues are less than direct installation costs. Advertising sales are recognized in the period that the advertisements are exhibited. Deposits and up-front
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts represents our best estimate of probable losses in the accounts receivable balance. The allowance is based on the number of days outstanding, customer balances, recoveries, historical experience and other currently available information.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Our accounts receivable are comprised of amounts due from customers in varying regions throughout the United States. Concentration of credit risk with respect to these receivables is limited due to the large number of customers comprising our customer base and their geographic dispersion. We invest our cash with high quality financial institutions.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Additions to property, plant and equipment generally include material, labor and indirect costs. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives: Buildings 10 - 40 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of: life of respective lease or life of asset Cable systems, equipment and customer devices 5-20 Vehicles 4-5 Furniture, fixtures, and office equipment 5 years We capitalize improvements that extend asset lives and expense repairs and maintenance as incurred. At the time of retirements, write-offs, sales or other dispositions of property, the original cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gains or losses are included in depreciation and amortization expense in the consolidated statement of operations. We capitalize the costs associated with the construction of cable transmission and distribution facilities, new customer installations and indirect costs associated with our phone service. Costs include direct labor and material, as well as certain indirect costs including capitalized interest. We perform periodic evaluations of the estimates used to determine the amount and extent that such costs are capitalized. Any changes to these estimates, which may be significant, are applied in the period in which the evaluations were completed. The costs of disconnecting service at a customer’s dwelling or reconnecting to a previously installed dwelling are charged as expense in the period incurred. Costs associated with subsequent installations of additional services not previously installed at a customer’s dwelling are capitalized to the extent such costs are incremental and directly attributable to the installation of such additional services. See Note 3.
Capitalized Software Costs	Capitalized Software Costs We account for internal-use 350-40- Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Internal-Use
Marketing and Promotional Costs	Marketing and Promotional Costs Marketing and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and were $38.6 million, $35.7 million and $31.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets Our cable systems operate under non-exclusive Intangibles — Goodwill and Other We follow the provisions of ASC 350 to test our goodwill and franchise rights for impairment. We assess the fair values of our reporting unit using the Excess Earnings Method of the Income Approach as our discounted cash flow (“DCF”) methodology, under which the fair value of cable franchise rights are determined in a direct manner. We employ the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method to calculate the fair values of our cable franchise rights, using unobservable inputs (Level 3). This assessment involves significant judgment, including certain assumptions and estimates that determine future cash flow expectations and other future benefits, which are consistent with the expectations of buyers and sellers of cable systems in determining fair value. These assumptions and estimates include discount rates, estimated growth rates, terminal growth rates, comparable company data, revenues per customer, market penetration as a percentage of homes passed and operating margin. We also consider market transactions, market valuations, research analyst estimates and other valuations using multiples of operating income before depreciation and amortization to confirm the reasonableness of fair values determined by the DCF methodology. We also employ the Greenfield model to corroborate the fair values of our cable franchise rights determined under the In-use Based on the guidance outlined in ASC 350, we have determined that the unit of accounting or reporting unit, for testing goodwill and franchise rights is Mediacom Broadband. Comprising cable system clusters across several states, Mediacom Broadband is at the financial reporting level that is managed and reviewed by the corporate office (i.e., chief operating decision maker) including our determination as to how we allocate capital resources and utilize the assets. The reporting unit level also reflects the level at which the purchase method of accounting for our acquisitions was originally recorded. In accordance with ASC 350, we are required to determine goodwill impairment using a two-step The impairment test for our franchise rights and other intangible assets not subject to amortization consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the excess is recognized as an impairment loss. Since our adoption of ASC 350 in 2002, we have not recorded any impairments as a result of our impairment testing. We monitor the reporting unit for impairment throughout each of the reporting periods. We completed our most recent impairment test as of October 1, 2017, which reflected no impairment of our franchise rights, goodwill or other intangible assets. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, no impairments were recorded. We could record impairments in the future if there are changes in the long-term fundamentals of our business, in general market conditions or in the regulatory landscape that could prevent us from recovering the carrying value of our long-lived intangible assets. The economic conditions affecting the U.S. economy, and how that may impact the fundamentals of our business, may have a negative impact on the fair values of the assets in our reporting unit. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28 When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) The following table details changes in the carrying value of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (dollars in thousands): Balance - December 31, 2015 $ 195,945 Acquisitions — Dispositions — Balance - December 31, 2016 195,945 Acquisitions — Dispositions — Balance - December 31, 2017 $ 195,945

We initially recorded a $1.8 million asset in property, plant and equipment and a corresponding liability of $1.8 million. As of both December 31, 2017 and 2016, the corresponding asset, net of accumulated amortization, was $0. See Note 3.

Programming Costs	Programming Costs We have various fixed-term carriage contracts to obtain programming for our cable systems from content suppliers whose compensation is generally based on a fixed monthly fee per video customer. These programming contracts are subject to negotiated renewal. Programming costs are recognized when we distribute the related programming. These programming costs are usually payable each month based on calculations performed by us and are subject to adjustments based on the results of periodic audits by the content suppliers. Historically, such audit adjustments have been immaterial to our total programming costs. Financial incentives, when received, are deferred within non-current
