Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block] | 1. SEPARATION FROM GRAHAM HOLDINGS COMPANY AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS On July 1, 2015, Cable One, Inc. (“Cable One”) became an independent company traded under the ticker symbol “CABO” on the New York Stock Exchange after completion of its spin-off from Graham Holdings Company (“GHC”). The spin-off was effected through the distribution by GHC of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Cable One to GHC stockholders as of the record date for the distribution (the “spin-off”) in a pro rata dividend. In connection with the spin-off, approximately 5.84 million shares of Cable One’s common stock were issued and outstanding on July 1, 2015 at 12:01 a.m., based on approximately 0.96 million shares of GHC Class A Common Stock and 4.88 million shares of GHC Class B Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2015 . The financial statements included herein have been retroactively restated, including share and per share amounts, to reflect the effects of the spin-off. Cable One owns and operates cable systems that provide data, video and voice services to residential and commercial subscribers in 19 Western, Midwestern and Southern states of the United States of America. As of June 30, 2016, Cable One provided service to 508,317 data customers, 338,974 video customers and 120,940 voice customers.

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation. Prior to the spin-off, the Company’s financial statements were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of GHC. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 were prepared solely to present the Company’s historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods prior to the spin-off as it was historically managed. The impact of transactions between the Company and GHC was included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and was considered to be effectively settled for cash in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at the time the transaction was recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions was reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity. The Company functioned as part of the larger group of subsidiary companies controlled by GHC prior to the spin-off, and accordingly, GHC provided certain support and overhead functions to the Company. These functions included finance, human resources, legal, information technology, general insurance, risk management and other corporate functions. The costs of such services were allocated to the Company based on the most relevant allocation methods to the service provided. Management believed such allocations were reasonable and were consistently applied; however, they may not have been indicative of the actual expense that would have been incurred had the Company been operating on a stand-alone basis. See Notes 10 and 13 for details on these allocations. Additionally, prior to the spin-off, the Company participated in a centralized approach to cash management and in financing its operations managed by GHC. Cash was transferred to GHC and GHC funded the Company’s operating and investing activities as needed. Accordingly, cash and cash equivalents at GHC were not allocated to the Company in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. GHC’s third-party debt, and the related interest expense, were not allocated to the Company for any of the periods presented as the Company was not the legal obligor on the debt and GHC borrowings were not directly attributable to the Company’s business. During the pre-spin periods presented, the Company’s income taxes have been prepared on a separate return basis as if the Company was a stand-alone entity. Prior to the spin-off, the Company’s operations were historically included in GHC’s consolidated U.S. Federal and certain state tax returns. The Company did not maintain taxes payable to/from GHC and was deemed to settle the annual current tax balances immediately with the legal tax-paying entities in the respective jurisdictions. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 may not be indicative of the Company’s future results. In addition, as the Company did not operate as a stand-alone entity prior to July 1, 2015, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein may not necessarily be indicative of the Company’s future performance and may not necessarily reflect what its financial position, results of operations or cash flows would have been had it operated as a stand-alone entity during all of the periods presented. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation. See the “Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements” section below for information regarding a balance sheet reclassification of deferred financing costs that resulted from the adoption of new accounting guidance. The Company also reclassified amounts in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from Capital expenditures to Change in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures to conform to the current year presentation. This reclassification had no impact on the previously reported cash flows from investing activities. Principles of Consolidation. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance that requires management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures in certain circumstances. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have an impact on its financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this guidance. The new guidance should be applied on a full retrospective basis to all periods presented. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. In accordance with the provisions of the new guidance, the Company has recorded unamortized debt issuance costs net of the long-term debt liability in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. This resulted in a reclassification of deferred financing costs, which caused a reduction of $9.8 million to Long-term debt, $1.6 million to Current Assets and $8.2 million to Other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015. In September 2015, the FASB issued new guidance that requires that an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts reflected in its financial statements arising from a business combination during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the guidance requires that the acquirer reflect adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the financial statements for the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the adjustment had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition, an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this guidance should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this guidance, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on its financial statements unless an acquisition is made. In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of this new guidance In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance affecting several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. If an entity early adopts this guidance in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the guidance in the same period. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of this new guidance |

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company’s deferred compensation liabilities were $17.8 million and $18.3 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. These liabilities are included in Accrued compensation and related benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These liabilities represent the market value of a participant’s balance in a notional investment account that is comprised primarily of mutual funds, which is based on observable market prices. However, since the deferred compensation obligations are not exchanged in an active market, they are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on deferred compensation are included in operating income. The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s money market investments, commercial paper and long-term debt, including current portion, as of June 30, 2016, were as follows (in thousands): June 3 0 , 2016 Carrying Fair Amount Value Assets: Money market investments $ 23,990 $ 23,990 Commercial paper $ 69,957 $ 69,950 Long-term debt, including current portion Notes $ 450,000 $ 461,250 Term Loan $ 97,500 $ 97,500 Money market investments are included in Cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Commercial paper investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are also included in Cash and cash equivalents. These investments are primarily held in U.S. Treasury securities and registered money market funds. These investments were valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of the commercial paper (Level 1) or inputs that include quoted market prices for investments similar to the money market investments (Level 2). The fair value of the Notes was estimated based on quoted market prices in less active markets (Level 2). The fair value of the Term Loan was estimated based on discounting the remaining principal and interest payments using current market rates for similar debt (Level 2). |

TREASURY STOCK On July 1, 2015, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) authorized up to $250 million of share repurchases (subject to a total cap of 600,000 shares of Company common stock). Purchases under the stock repurchase program may be made from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. The size and timing of these purchases will be based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block] | 9. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION Through June 30, 2015, certain of the Company’s employees participated in an equity-based incentive compensation plan maintained by GHC for the benefit of certain officers, directors and employees. Equity-based awards issued to employees included non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards. These compensation costs are recognized within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Certain Compensation and Benefit Plans. The 2015 Plan provides that, subject to certain adjustments for certain corporate events, the maximum number of shares of Company common stock that may be issued under the 2015 Plan is equal to 600,000, and no more than 400,000 shares may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options. Restricted Stock Awards. The compensation arrangements for the Company’s non-employee directors under the 2015 Plan provide that each non-employee director is entitled to an annual retainer of $150,000, plus an additional annual retainer of $15,000 for each non-employee director who serves as a committee chair or as lead independent director. Each such retainer will be provided in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Such RSUs will generally be granted on the date of the Company’s annual stockholders’ meeting and will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service through such vesting date. Settlement of such RSUs will be in the form of one share of the Company’s common stock and will follow vesting, unless the director has previously elected to defer such settlement until his or her separation from service from the Board. As of June 30, 2016, 2,192 RSUs were vested and deferred. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company granted 726 Restricted Shares, with a total value at the grant date of $0.3 million, and 2,379 RSUs, with a total value at the grant date of $1.1 million. The Restricted Shares and RSUs are collectively referred to as “restricted stock.” During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company granted 9,350 shares of restricted stock, with a total value at the grant date of $4.1 million, to employees and non-employee directors, and a summary of the restricted stock is as follows: Weighted Average Grant Date Restricted Fair Value Stock Per Share Unvested as of January 1, 2016 39,744 $ 383.18 Granted 9,350 $ 440.62 Unvested as of June 30, 2016 49,094 Compensation expense associated with unvested restricted stock is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The expense recognized each period is dependent upon the Company’s estimate of the number of shares that will ultimately vest. Equity-based compensation expense for restricted stock was $2.7 million and $5.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. At June 30, 2016, there was $12.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years. Stock Appreciation Rights. A summary of SAR activity is as follows: Stock Appreciation Rights Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Fair Value Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions) Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Outstanding as of December 31, 2015 135,600 $ 422.31 $ 87.22 $ 1.5 9.7 Granted 2,500 441.51 91.48 - 9.8 Outstanding as of June 30, 2016 138,100 $ 422.66 $ 87.30 $ 12.3 9.2 Vested and exercisable as of June 30, 2016 - $ - $ - $ - - The fair value of the SARs was measured based on the Black-Scholes model. The inputs used in the fair value measurement for 2016 were as follows: 2016 Expected volatility 22.67 % Risk-free interest rate 1.45 % Expected term (in years) 6.25 Expected dividend yield 1.35 % Compensation expense associated with unvested SARs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The expense recognized each period is dependent upon our estimate of the number of shares that will ultimately vest. Equity-based compensation expense for these SARs was $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. At June 30, 2016, there was $9.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the SARs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years. Compensation Expense Also, in connection with the spin-off, GHC modified the terms of 10,830 restricted stock awards in the second quarter of 2015 affecting 21 Cable One employees. The modification resulted in the acceleration of the vesting period of 6,324 restricted stock awards and the forfeiture of 4,506 restricted stock awards. The Company recorded incremental stock compensation expense, net of forfeitures, of $3.7 million related to such awards during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, which is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. |

Postemployment Benefits Disclosure [Text Block] | 11. POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS, POST-SPIN As a condition of the spin-off, the Company assumed full financial and reporting responsibility for the postemployment benefit plans offered to eligible employees, other than the GHC Retirement Plan. The accumulated benefits of Company employees participating in GHC sponsored multiemployer benefit and/or savings plans other than the GHC Retirement Plan were transferred into corresponding Cable One sponsored plans. After the spin-off, GHC will continue to administer the GHC Retirement Plan, including making payments under the plan, with respect to current and former Company employees with vested rights thereunder. On June 5, 2015, the Board adopted the Cable One, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”), which became effective as of July 1, 2015. The SERP includes a defined benefit portion, or the “DB SERP,” and a defined contribution portion, or the “DC SERP.” Upon the spin-off, under the SERP, a $5.4 million long-term liability was transferred from GHC to Cable One representing the accumulated DB SERP and DC SERP liabilities of $4.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. As the DB SERP is unfunded, the Company makes contributions to the DB SERP based on actual benefit payments, which were not material for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Participant contributions into the DC SERP continued through December 31, 2015. No Company contributions were earned by DC SERP participants on or after July 1, 2015. The Company uses a measurement date of December 31 for the DB SERP. An unamortized actuarial loss related to the DB SERP was recorded as of December 31, 2015, which is amortized through other comprehensive income over the estimated remaining service periods of the participants and is recognized in Other comprehensive loss, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. On June 5, 2015, the Board also adopted the Cable One Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan allows for eligible employees to contribute a portion of their salary to the 401(k) Plan, and in some cases, a matching contribution to the 401(k) Plan is made by the Company. The Company recorded matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In addition to the advent of the post-spin postemployment plans described above, the Company has (prior to the spin-off) and may continue to enter into arrangements with certain current and former executives and officers of the Company who desire to defer all or a portion of their annual cash-based incentives under the Cable One, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan. Upon execution of the agreements the Company transfers the deferred incentive to a long-term liability. Market-based gains and losses are applied to the respective outstanding balances at each reporting period such that market-based period gains represent additional compensation expense to the Company and market-based losses represent a reduction of compensation expense. The Company recorded a gain of $0.1 million and a gain of $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The total deferred compensation balance as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $17.8 million and $18.3 million, respectively. In 1999, the Company’s CEO was granted a special deferred compensation award in recognition of his efforts in growing Cable One. Annual payouts under this arrangement will commence when he separates service with Cable One. The base amounts began accruing interest on May 1, 2016 at an annual rate corresponding to the applicable rate for 12-month U.S. treasury bills (set at each anniversary and carried forward), credited and compounded on an annual basis. The award may be payable in installments upon mutual agreement of Cable One and the CEO, not to extend beyond a ten-year period, however, in the event of his death, all amounts due will be payable in a lump sum within 60 days. No amounts have been paid to the CEO in 2016 in respect of this arrangement. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had an accrued liability of $2.0 million for this special deferred compensation, which is included within the Accrued compensation and related benefits line item on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation. Prior to the spin-off, the Company’s financial statements were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of GHC. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 were prepared solely to present the Company’s historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods prior to the spin-off as it was historically managed. The impact of transactions between the Company and GHC was included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and was considered to be effectively settled for cash in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at the time the transaction was recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions was reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity. The Company functioned as part of the larger group of subsidiary companies controlled by GHC prior to the spin-off, and accordingly, GHC provided certain support and overhead functions to the Company. These functions included finance, human resources, legal, information technology, general insurance, risk management and other corporate functions. The costs of such services were allocated to the Company based on the most relevant allocation methods to the service provided. Management believed such allocations were reasonable and were consistently applied; however, they may not have been indicative of the actual expense that would have been incurred had the Company been operating on a stand-alone basis. See Notes 10 and 13 for details on these allocations. Additionally, prior to the spin-off, the Company participated in a centralized approach to cash management and in financing its operations managed by GHC. Cash was transferred to GHC and GHC funded the Company’s operating and investing activities as needed. Accordingly, cash and cash equivalents at GHC were not allocated to the Company in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. GHC’s third-party debt, and the related interest expense, were not allocated to the Company for any of the periods presented as the Company was not the legal obligor on the debt and GHC borrowings were not directly attributable to the Company’s business. During the pre-spin periods presented, the Company’s income taxes have been prepared on a separate return basis as if the Company was a stand-alone entity. Prior to the spin-off, the Company’s operations were historically included in GHC’s consolidated U.S. Federal and certain state tax returns. The Company did not maintain taxes payable to/from GHC and was deemed to settle the annual current tax balances immediately with the legal tax-paying entities in the respective jurisdictions. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 may not be indicative of the Company’s future results. In addition, as the Company did not operate as a stand-alone entity prior to July 1, 2015, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein may not necessarily be indicative of the Company’s future performance and may not necessarily reflect what its financial position, results of operations or cash flows would have been had it operated as a stand-alone entity during all of the periods presented. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation. See the “Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements” section below for information regarding a balance sheet reclassification of deferred financing costs that resulted from the adoption of new accounting guidance. The Company also reclassified amounts in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from Capital expenditures to Change in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures to conform to the current year presentation. This reclassification had no impact on the previously reported cash flows from investing activities. |

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance that requires management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures in certain circumstances. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have an impact on its financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this guidance. The new guidance should be applied on a full retrospective basis to all periods presented. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. In accordance with the provisions of the new guidance, the Company has recorded unamortized debt issuance costs net of the long-term debt liability in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. This resulted in a reclassification of deferred financing costs, which caused a reduction of $9.8 million to Long-term debt, $1.6 million to Current Assets and $8.2 million to Other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015. In September 2015, the FASB issued new guidance that requires that an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts reflected in its financial statements arising from a business combination during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the guidance requires that the acquirer reflect adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the financial statements for the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the adjustment had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition, an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this guidance should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this guidance, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on its financial statements unless an acquisition is made. In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of this new guidance In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance affecting several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. If an entity early adopts this guidance in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the guidance in the same period. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of this new guidance |
