1926

Charles Francis Dolan (born October 16, 1926) is an American billionaire businessman, best known as founder of Cablevision and HBO.

Today, Dolan controls Madison Square Garden Sports, MSG Networks, Madison Square Garden Entertainment, Madison Square Garden, Sphere, Radio City Music Hall, BBC America and AMC Networks.

As of October 2021, his net worth was estimated at US$5.6 billion.

The son of an inventor, Dolan was born in Cleveland, Ohio, United States.

He served in the United States Army Air Forces at the end of World War II and studied at John Carroll University, before dropping out and entering the telecommunications field.

His father, David, sold a patent to Ford Motor.

Dolan's earliest professional endeavors focused on the packaging, marketing and distribution of sports and industrial films, which he produced with his wife in their Cleveland home and then sold to televisions stations which syndicated the material.

Dolan sold his interests to Telenews in exchange for a job, and when he was 26 years old, he moved to New York and founded Teleguide Inc, a service that provided information to hotels.

That same decade, Dolan founded Sterling Manhattan Cable, the first company to wire buildings to have cable television access.

In its early years, Sterling forged first-of-its-kind agreements to bring New York professional sports teams, cultural programming and movies into the homes of New York City cable viewers, including agreements with the New York Knicks and New York Rangers.

Two years later, he sold Sterling Cable's Manhattan operations to Time Inc and renamed his Long Island business Cablevision Systems.

1970

In the early 1970s, Dolan founded Home Box Office, the first premium programming service in the cable television industry, which he sold to Time Life.

Later, he organized Cablevision Systems Corporation on Long Island and has spearheaded many of the company's advancements.

2000

The Fairfield University Dolan School of Business at Fairfield University is named in recognition of Dolan's $25 million donation in 2000 and his service to the university as a member of the board of trustees.

2001

From 2001 through early 2002, Dolan was a bidder in the sale of the Boston Red Sox.

2003

After that, he was the vision behind VOOM, Cablevision's effort to expand content delivery and meet the demands of the exploding HDTV market, which was expected to include six million households by the end of 2003 and 12 million by year-end 2005, but was shut down when other directors deemed it financially unsustainable.

Completed in 2003 at a cost of over $66 million, it houses JCU's science departments, including Mathematics and Computer Science.

2016

In 2016, Dolan sold Cablevision to Patrick Drahi's Altice USA for $17.7 billion.
