The company’s media and telecommunications operations include Graham Media Group, which owns and manages local television stations across the United States, and Post Community Media, publisher of regional newspapers and digital news sites. Its Cable ONE division supplies high-speed internet, cable television and phone services to residential and business customers in rural and suburban markets, focusing on broadband expansion and customer service.
Complementing these core activities, Graham Holdings maintains a presence in professional services and technology through subsidiaries such as the Logistics Management Institute, offering management consulting to government agencies, and Ventiv Technology, providing enterprise risk management software solutions.
