Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Other Information	Basis of Presentation and Other Information Shenandoah Telecommunications Company (“Shentel”, “we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Company”) is a provider of a comprehensive range of broadband communication services and cell tower colocation space in the Mid-Atlantic portion of the United States. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. All normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. As discussed in Notes 1 and 16 to the audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, (the "2021 Form 10-K"), the Company determined that an immaterial error existed in our previously issued financial statements. As such, the Company revised its historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Refer to the table below for a summary of these revisions. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in thousands, except per share amounts) Pre-Adjustment Error Correction Post-Adjustment Pre-Adjustment Error Correction Post-Adjustment Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income: Cost of services $ 25,426 $ 321 $ 25,747 $ 73,044 $ 775 $ 73,819 Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes 1,310 (321) 989 9,322 (775) 8,547 Income tax benefit (5,422) (84) (5,506) (2,315) (204) (2,519) Income (loss) from continuing operations 6,732 (237) 6,495 11,637 (571) 11,066 Net income (loss) 893,058 (237) 892,821 998,001 (571) 997,430 Comprehensive income (loss) 896,678 (237) 896,441 1,002,707 (571) 1,002,136 Net income per share, basic and diluted: Basic - Income from continuing operations $ 0.13 $ — $ 0.13 $ 0.23 $ (0.01) $ 0.22 Basic - Net income per share $ 17.86 $ — $ 17.86 $ 19.96 $ (0.01) $ 19.95 Diluted - Income from continuing operations $ 0.13 $ — $ 0.13 $ 0.23 $ (0.01) $ 0.22 Diluted - Net income per share $ 17.81 $ — $ 17.81 $ 19.90 $ (0.01) $ 19.89 The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. On an on-going basis we evaluate significant estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, estimated useful lives of assets, intangible assets subject to amortization, and the computation of income taxes. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, the Company’s accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained, and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Management evaluates and updates assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Adoption of New Accounting Principles In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832), Disclosures by Business Entities About Government Assistance,” ("ASU 2021-10") which requires entities to provide disclosures on material government assistance transactions for annual reporting periods. The disclosures include information about the nature of the assistance, the related accounting policies used to account for government assistance, the effect of government assistance on the entity’s financial statements and any significant terms and conditions of the agreements, including commitments and contingencies. On July 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2021-10 and have included the new disclosure requirements in Note 11, Government Grants . Other than the matter described above, there have been no material developments related to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and note disclosures, from those disclosed in the Company's 2021 Form 10-K, that would be expected to impact the Company.

Revenue from Contracts with Cus

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue from Contracts with Customers	Revenue from Contracts with Customers Our Broadband segment provides broadband data, video and voice services to residential and commercial customers in portions of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky via fiber optic, hybrid fiber coaxial cable, and fixed wireless networks. The Broadband segment also provides voice and DSL telephone services to customers in Virginia’s Shenandoah County and portions of adjacent counties as a Rural Local Exchange Carrier (“RLEC”). These contracts are generally cancellable at the customer’s discretion without penalty at any time. We allocate the total transaction price in these transactions based upon the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service. We generally recognize these revenues over time as customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the service, with the exception of equipment sales and home wiring, which are recognized as revenue at a point in time when control transfers and when installation is complete, respectively. Installation fees, charged upfront without transfer of commensurate goods or services to the customer, are allocated to services and are recognized ratably over the longer of the contract term or the period in which the unrecognized fee remains material to the contract, which we estimate to be one year. Additionally, the Company incurs commission expenses related to in-house and third-party vendors which are capitalized and amortized over the expected weighted average customer life which is approximately six years. Amortization of capitalized commission expenses is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. Below is a summary of the Broadband segment's capitalized contract acquisition costs: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in thousands) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Beginning Balance $ 8,427 $ 7,524 $ 8,147 $ 7,358 Contract payments 983 710 2,630 2,535 Contract amortization (729) (223) (2,096) (1,882) Ending Balance $ 8,681 $ 8,011 $ 8,681 $ 8,011 Our Broadband segment also provides Ethernet and Wavelength fiber optic services to commercial fiber customers under capacity agreements, and the related revenue is recognized over time. In some cases, non-refundable upfront fees are charged for connecting commercial fiber customers to our fiber network. Those amounts are recognized ratably over the longer of the contract term or the period in which the unrecognized fee remains material to the respective contract. A related contract liability of $4.1 million at September 30, 2022 is recorded in other liabilities o n the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and is expected to be recognized into revenue at the rate of approximately $0.2 million per year. The Broadband segment also leases dedicated fiber optic strands to customers as part of “dark fiber” agreements, which are accounted for as leases under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, Leases, ("ASC 842"). Our Tower segment leases space on owned cell towers to our Broadband segment, and to other wireless carriers. Revenue from these leases is accounted for under ASC 842. Refer to Note 13, Segment Reporting , for a summary of these revenue streams.

Investments	Investments Investments consist of the following: (in thousands) September 30, December 31, SERP investments at fair value $ 1,739 $ 2,317 Cost method investments 10,742 11,004 Equity method investments 303 340 Total investments $ 12,784 $ 13,661 SERP Investments at Fair Value: The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) is a benefit plan that provides deferred compensation to certain employees. The Company holds the related investments in a rabbi trust as a source of funding for future payments under the plan. The SERP’s investments were designated as trading securities and will be liquidated and paid out to the participants upon retirement. The benefit obligation to participants is always equal to the value of the SERP assets under ASC 710, Compensation . The fair value of the SERP investments are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes to the investments' fair value are presented in Other income (expense), while the reciprocal changes in the liability are presented in selling, general and administrative expense. At December 31, 2021, $0.8 million of SERP investments were presented as prepaid expenses and other (current assets). Those investments were liquidated in July 2022 to pay the current portion of our SERP obligation. Cost Method Investments : Our investment in CoBank ACB’s Class A common stock represented substantially all of our cost method investments with a balance of $10.0 million and $10.3 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We recognized approximately $13.7 thousand and $0.5 million of patronage income in other income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and approximately $40.5 thousand and $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Historically, approximately 75% of the patronage distributions were received in cash and 25% in equity. Equity Method Investments: At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had a 20.0% ownership interest in Valley Network Partnership (“ValleyNet”). The Company and ValleyNet purchase capacity on one another’s fiber network, through related party transactions. We recognized revenue of $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We recognized cost of service of $19.2 thousand and $30 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $73.6 thousand and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Depreciation expense was $17.7 million and $14.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $46.4 million and $40.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2021, due to the availability of grants awarded under various governmental initiatives in support of rural fiber to the home ("FTTH") broadband network expansion projects, we decided to cease further expansion of our Beam branded fixed wireless edge-out strategy, which is offered under our Broadband segment. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company permanently ceased operating 20 of our 55 Beam fixed wireless sites. Consequently, Shentel recorded an impairment charge of $4.1 million. On August 23, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement (the "Spectrum Purchase Agreement") with a wireless carrier pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell certain Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") spectrum licenses and leases utilized in the Company's Beam branded fixed wireless service for total consideration of approximately $21.1 million, composed of $17.3 million cash and approximately $3.8 million of liabilities to be assumed by the wireless carrier (the "Spectrum Transaction"). The Spectrum Transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2023, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. As a result of the Spectrum Transaction, the Company plans to cease its Beam operations at the remaining Beam fixed wireless sites upon or prior to the closing of the Spectrum Transaction. As a result of the expected decommissioning of the remaining Beam fixed wireless sites after they cease operations, the Company has revised the useful lives for these sites to reflect operation through the cease of operations date.

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company was awarded certain indefinite-lived Citizens Broadband Radio Service ("CBRS") spectrum licenses to be used within the Broadband segment. The Company paid an aggregate deposit of $16.1 million with respect to the licenses subject to final approval and issuance by the FCC. The licenses will provide us priority access rights over general access users other than incumbents, in that specific band, in accordance with the FCC’s three-tier CBRS band spectrum sharing framework. The FCC approved the Company’s final application for the licenses in the third quarter of 2022, resulting in the issuance of licenses with a deposit value of $12.1 million. The Company recorded these licenses as indefinite-lived intangible assets on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. These licenses are not subject to the Spectrum Transaction described above. The remaining $4.0 million of the deposit is expected to be returned to the Company in the form of a cash refund in November 2022. The refund amount was recorded in accounts receivable on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 . As described in Note 4, Property, Plant and Equipment , the Company entered into the Spectrum Purchase Agreement to sell FCC spectrum licenses associated with Beam. As a result of the expected sale, the Company concluded that the FCC spectrum licenses met the held-for-sale criteria; accordingly, $13.8 million of indefinite-lived licenses and $5.9 million of finite-lived licenses are presented as held for sale, along with the corresponding $3.8 million of operating lease liabilities related to the finite-lived licenses. The corresponding amounts related to these assets and liabilities were reclassified on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 for comparability. The Company evaluated the events described here and in Note 4, Property, Plant and Equipment and determined that these events do not represent a strategic shift in the Company's business.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock Compensation and (Loss) Earnings per Share	Stock Compensation and (Loss) Earnings per Share The Company granted approximately 518,000 restricted stock units ("RSUs") at market prices ranging from $18.84 to $25.92 to employees and members of the board of directors during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, approximately 100,000 Relative Total Shareholder Return (“RTSR”) awards were granted to employees at a value of $23.83 per award during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company incurred $1.8 million and $1.2 million in stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and $7.3 million and $2.0 million in stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is presented in selling, general and administrative costs in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. We utilize the treasury stock method to calculate the impact on diluted earnings per share that potentially dilutive stock-based compensation awards have. The following table indicates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in thousands, except per share amounts) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Calculation of net (loss) income per share: (Loss) income from continuing operations $ (2,728) $ 6,495 $ (6,556) $ 11,066 Total income from discontinued operations, net of tax — 886,326 — 986,364 Net (loss) income $ (2,728) $ 892,821 $ (6,556) $ 997,430 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 50,183 49,984 50,153 49,984 Basic net (loss) income per share - continuing operations $ (0.05) $ 0.13 $ (0.13) $ 0.22 Basic net income per share - discontinued operations $ — $ 17.73 $ — $ 19.73 Basic net (loss) income per share $ (0.05) $ 17.86 $ (0.13) $ 19.95 Effect of stock-based compensation awards outstanding: Basic weighted average shares outstanding 50,183 49,984 50,153 49,984 Effect from dilutive shares and options outstanding — 136 — 152 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 50,183 50,120 50,153 50,136 Diluted net (loss) income per share - continuing operations $ (0.05) $ 0.13 $ (0.13) $ 0.22 Diluted net income per share - discontinued operations $ — $ 17.68 $ — $ 19.67 Diluted net (loss) income per share $ (0.05) $ 17.81 $ (0.13) $ 19.89 There were approximately 252,000 and 165,000 potentially dilutive equity awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022; however, these securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding due to the fact that they were anti-dilutive as a result of the Company's net loss for the period. There were fewer than 215,000 anti-dilutive equity awards outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. On July 2, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $18.75 per share on the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Special Dividend”). The Special Dividend was paid on August 2, 2021. The total payout to Shentel shareholders, including amounts reinvested in the Company’s stock via the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan, was approximately $937 million. On August 4, 2021, in accordance with the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a resolution to modify the outstanding equity awards to offset the loss in intrinsic value caused by the disposition of wireless and the decline in the Company's share price following the special dividend. No other terms or conditions of the outstanding equity awards were modified, no incremental expense was required to be recognized, and there was no significant impact to dilutive securities.

Government Grants [Abstract]
Government Grants	Government Grants During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development ("VA DHCD"), in partnership with five counties in Virginia, awarded the Company up to approximately $57.8 million in grants under the Virginia Telecommunication Initiative ("VATI") to strategically expand the Company's broadband network in order to provide broadband services to unserved residences in the partnering counties in Virginia. In July 2022, the State of West Virginia awarded Shentel $1.1 million under the Major Broadband Projects Strategies (“MBPS”) program to extend the Company’s broadband network in Lewis County, West Virginia. Also in July 2022, the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development ("MD DHCD"), in partnership with Frederick County, Maryland, awarded the Company up to approximately $10.2 million in grants to expand the Company's broadband network to unserved homes and businesses. To receive such grant distributions, we entered into agreements with each partnering county in Virginia and expect to complete similar agreement in Maryland and West Virginia. These agreements outline certain build-out milestones. The network is required to meet certain performance conditions for a subsequent five year period to ensure that minimum download and upload speeds are able to be provided to the underserved residences. The Company recognizes grant receivables at the time it becomes probable that the Company will be eligible to receive the grant, which is estimated to correspond with the date when specified build-out milestones are achieved. The grant is treated as a reduction to the corresponding property, plant and equipment asset balance and is recognized through depreciation expense over the life of the corresponding asset. Reimbursable amounts are dependent upon the actual construction costs. The Company has not recognized any amounts under these programs as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies We are committed to make payments to satisfy our lease liabilities. The scheduled payments under those obligations are summarized in Note 7, Leases . We also have outstanding unconditional purchase commitments to procure marketing services and IT software licenses through 2026 and commitments for FCC spectrum licenses to access Educational Broadband Service (“EBS”) spectrum channels through 2039 (which have been classified as held for sale). From time to time the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising out of the normal course of business. The Company consults with legal counsel on those issues related to litigation and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to such matters. Estimating the probable losses or a range of probable losses resulting from litigation, government actions and other legal proceedings is inherently difficult and requires an extensive degree of judgment, particularly where the matters involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages, may involve discretionary amounts, present novel legal theories, are in the early stages of the proceedings, or are subject to appeal. Whether any losses, damages or remedies ultimately resulting from such matters could reasonably have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows will depend on a number of variables, including, for example, the timing and amount of such losses or damages (if any) and the structure and type of any such remedies. The Company’s management does not presently expect any litigation matters to have a material adverse impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Adoption of New Accounting Principles	Adoption of New Accounting Principles In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832), Disclosures by Business Entities About Government Assistance,” ("ASU 2021-10") which requires entities to provide disclosures on material government assistance transactions for annual reporting periods. The disclosures include information about the nature of the assistance, the related accounting policies used to account for government assistance, the effect of government assistance on the entity’s financial statements and any significant terms and conditions of the agreements, including commitments and contingencies. On July 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2021-10 and have included the new disclosure requirements in Note 11, Government Grants . Other than the matter described above, there have been no material developments related to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and note disclosures, from those disclosed in the Company's 2021 Form 10-K, that would be expected to impact the Company.
Investment	SERP Investments at Fair Value: The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) is a benefit plan that provides deferred compensation to certain employees. The Company holds the related investments in a rabbi trust as a source of funding for future payments under the plan. The SERP’s investments were designated as trading securities and will be liquidated and paid out to the participants upon retirement. The benefit obligation to participants is always equal to the value of the SERP assets under ASC 710, Compensation . The fair value of the SERP investments are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes to the investments' fair value are presented in Other income (expense), while the reciprocal changes in the liability are presented in selling, general and administrative expense. At December 31, 2021, $0.8 million of SERP investments were presented as prepaid expenses and other (current assets). Those investments were liquidated in July 2022 to pay the current portion of our SERP obligation. Cost Method Investments : Our investment in CoBank ACB’s Class A common stock represented substantially all of our cost method investments with a balance of $10.0 million and $10.3 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We recognized approximately $13.7 thousand and $0.5 million of patronage income in other income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and approximately $40.5 thousand and $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Historically, approximately 75% of the patronage distributions were received in cash and 25% in equity. Equity Method Investments: At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had a 20.0% ownership interest in Valley Network Partnership (“ValleyNet”). The Company and ValleyNet purchase capacity on one another’s fiber network, through related party transactions. We recognized revenue of $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We recognized cost of service of $19.2 thousand and $30 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $73.6 thousand and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
