| Organization | 1. ORGANIZATION Basis of Preparation of Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements Mediacom Broadband LLC (“Mediacom Broadband,” and collectively with its subsidiaries, “we,” “our” or “us”) is a Delaware limited liability company wholly-owned by Mediacom Communications Corporation (“MCC”). MCC is involved in the acquisition and operation of cable systems serving smaller cities and towns in the United States, and its cable systems are owned and operated through our operating subsidiaries and those of Mediacom LLC, a New York limited liability company wholly-owned by MCC. As limited liability companies, we and Mediacom LLC are not subject to income taxes and, as such, are included in the consolidated federal and state income tax returns of MCC, a C corporation. Our principal operating subsidiaries conduct all of our consolidated operations and own substantially all of our consolidated assets. Our operating subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to make funds available to us. We rely on our parent, MCC, for various services such as corporate and administrative support. Our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could differ from those that would have resulted had we operated autonomously or as an entity independent of MCC. See Notes 8 and 9. We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The accounting policies followed during such interim periods reported are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are consistent with those applied during annual periods. For a summary of our accounting policies and other information, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2019. Mediacom Broadband Corporation (“Broadband Corporation”), a Delaware corporation wholly-owned by us, co-issued, jointly and severally with us, public debt securities. Broadband Corporation has no operations, revenues or cash flows and has no assets, liabilities or stockholders’ equity on its balance sheet, other than a one-hundred dollar receivable from an affiliate and the same dollar amount of common stock. Therefore, separate financial statements have not been presented for this entity. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. |

| Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | ||
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting Pronouncements Adopted January 1, 2019 In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The objective of ASU 2016-02 is to address the concerns to increase the transparency around lease obligations. To address these concerns, previously unrecorded off-balance sheet obligations will now be brought more prominently to light by presenting lease liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. Accompanied by enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures in the notes to the financial statements, financial statement users will be able to more accurately compare information from one company to another. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term of longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. We adopted the new standard on its effective date, January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective transition approach in which prior periods were not restated. ASU 2016-02 and related guidance had no impact on our statement of operations or cash flows at adoption. The most significant changes relate to: the recognition of new ROU operating lease assets of $26.3 million and operating lease liabilities of $26.5 million on our balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 for office equipment, real estate, and other assets as determined. We elected all of the practical expedients afforded under ASU 2016-02 and related guidance, except for the practical expedient of “Hindsight” and lessee’s accounting of lease and non-lease components. The practical expedients we elected include: “the package” of practical expedients, land easements, lessors ability to combine lease and non-lease components and short-term leases. See Note 13. Accounting Pronouncements with Future Adoption Dates In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 – Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”). The main objective of ASU 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income including loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We have not determined the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on our financial position, operations or cash flows. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. A public business entity that is a SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect that ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows upon adoption. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15 — Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). The amendments in ASU 2018-15 align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in ASU 2018-15. We are still evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-15 The amendments in ASU 2018-15 are effective for us for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for all entities. ASU 2018-15 can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. |

| Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||
| Fair Value | 3. FAIR VALUE Our financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using a market-based approach. Our financial assets and liabilities, all of which represent interest rate exchange agreements (which we refer to as “interest rate swaps”), have been categorized according to the three-level fair value hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 820 — Fair Value Measurement , which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, as follows:
The fair value of our interest rate swaps represents the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to terminate such agreements, taking into account projected interest rates, based on quoted London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) futures and the remaining time to maturity. 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no interest rate swaps. As a result of the changes in the mark-to-market valuations on our interest rate swaps, we recorded a net loss on derivatives of $ 0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and a net gain on derivatives of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. |

| Debt | 6. DEBT Outstanding debt consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):
2019 Financing Activity On March 15, 2019, we called for the irrevocable redemption of $ million principal amount outstanding of our 5150.0 1 ⁄2 % senior notes due March 2021 (the “51 ⁄2 % Notes”) and, on April 15, 2019, we redeemed $ 150.01 ⁄2 % Notes at a redemption price of 100.0 % for each $1,000 principal amount redeemed or approximately $ 150.0117.9 million of available cash and $32.1 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Upon completion of the partial redemption, $50.0 million principal amount of the 51 ⁄2 % Notes remained outstanding. As a result of the partial redemption of the 51 ⁄2 % Notes, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, which represented the write-off of unamortized financing costs.Bank Credit Facility As of June 30, 2019, we maintained a $1.389 billion credit facility (the “credit facility”), comprising:
As of June 30, 2019, we had approximately $142.8 million of unused revolving credit commitments, all of which were available to be borrowed and used for general corporate purposes, after giving effect to $ 222.8 million outstanding loans and $9.4 million of letters of credit issued thereunder to various parties as collateral. 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 June 30, 2019, 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 June 30, 2019, 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 at par value any time prior to maturity. Interest Rate Swaps We periodically enter into interest rate exchange agreements (which we refer to as “interest rate swaps”) 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 had not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes and had been accounted for on a mark-to-market basis as of, and for the three and six months ended, June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, we had no current or forward-starting interest rate swaps. Senior Notes As of June 30, 2019, we had $50.0 million of outstanding senior notes, all of which comprised our 51 ⁄2 % Notes. On April 15, 2019, we redeemed $150.0 million of principal amount outstanding of the 51 ⁄2 % Notes.Our senior notes are unsecured obligations, and the indenture governing the 5 1 ⁄2 % Notes (the “indenture”) limits the incurrence of additional indebtedness based upon a maximum debt to operating cash flow ratio (as defined in the indenture) of 8.5 to 1.0. For all periods through June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants under the indenture. As of the same date, the indenture allowed for the full or partial repayment of any of our senior notes at par value at any time prior to maturity. Debt Ratings MCC’s corporate credit ratings are currently Ba1 by Moody’s and BB+ by Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”), both with stable outlooks, and our senior unsecured ratings are currently Ba2 by Moody’s and BB- by S&P, both with stable outlooks. There are no covenants, events of default, borrowing conditions or other terms in the credit agreement or indenture that are based on changes in our credit rating assigned by any rating agency. Fair Value The fair values of our senior notes and outstanding debt under the credit facility (which were calculated based upon unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data that we determine to be Level 2), were as follows (dollars in thousands):

| Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | ||
| Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | 11. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS In accordance with the FASB’s ASC No. 350 — Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets is prohibited and requires such assets to be tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. We have determined that our goodwill and franchise rights are indefinite-lived assets and therefore not amortizable. We last evaluated the factors surrounding our Mediacom Broadband reporting unit as of October 1, 2018 and did not believe that it was “more likely than not” that a goodwill impairment existed at that time. As such, we did not perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. We last evaluated our other intangible assets as of October 1, 2018 and did not believe that it was “more likely than not” that an impairment existed at that time. Because we believe there has not been a meaningful change in the long-term fundamentals of our business during the first six months of 2019, we determined that there has been no triggering event under ASC 350 and, as such, no interim impairment test was required for our goodwill and other intangible assets as of June 30, 2019. |

| Revenue Recognition | 12. REVENUE RECOGNITION We adopted the new accounting guidance for revenue recognition (i.e. ASU 2014-09) as of January 1, 2018. We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by type of services. We have determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors in our one reporting segment. Nature of Services Our primary revenue stream is subscription-based and consists of video service, high-speed data service and phone service. These services have base-level offerings and can be upgraded to premium level services. Residential customers can cancel their services at any time with no penalty. Small-to-medium business customers and large enterprise-class customers (collectively, “business customers”) are generally subject to fixed-term contracts with penalties imposed for early cancellation. We recognize revenue as services are provided on a monthly basis in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those services. Billing for all services (regardless of customer type) typically occurs in advance of services being delivered and paid by customers on a monthly basis. We also generate revenue from installation services and customer premise equipment rental associated with our subscription-based services. After installation occurs, equipment is rented to the customer over the service period to allow the customer to use the various subscription services noted above. Fees for installation services are viewed as advance payments for future services and are recognized over the period of benefit which is estimated to be the life of the customer relationship (approximately three years for residential customers and 1-10 years for all other customers). Customer premise equipment rentals are not separate performance obligations as they are considered to be highly interdependent on the underlying video, high-speed data and/or telephone service. Revenue for equipment rental is recognized when control of the underlying services is transferred to our customers over time. One of our other revenue streams is advertising sales. These revenues represent the insertion of commercials into various video and/or Internet platforms for an advertising customer. The performance obligation for these contracts is satisfied as the commercials are displayed. There are no agent relationships included in our delivery of our advertising services. Our obligation for returns and/or refunds is deemed insignificant. Revenue is recognized at a point in time as commercials are displayed by us and viewed by the public. A significant portion of our revenue streams are derived from customers who may cancel their subscriptions at any time without penalty. As such, the amount of revenue related to unsatisfied, remaining performance obligations is not necessarily indicative of the future revenue to be recognized from our existing customer base. Revenue from customers with a contract containing a specified contract term and non-cancelable service period will be recognized over the term of such contracts, which is generally 1-10 years. Franchise fees imposed by local governmental authorities are collected on a monthly basis from our customers and are periodically remitted to the local governmental authorities. Because franchise fees are our obligation, we present them on a gross basis within revenues with a corresponding operating expense. Franchise fees reported on a gross basis amounted to $5.3 million and $5.6 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and $10.6 million and $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our revenues by type of service are as follows (dollars in thousands):
Virtually all of our revenue streams, including subscription services and equipment rental, are recognized over time. We recognize revenue at a point in time for services such as pay-per-view, video on demand, advertising and miscellaneous fees. |

Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the implicit rate of our leases is not easily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. Management uses LIBOR and risk-adjusts that rate to approximate a collateralized rate for us, which will be updated on a quarterly basis for measurement of new lease liabilities. We apply the incremental borrowing rate on a portfolio basis to all asset classes. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and is adjusted for lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We account for variable lease payments, such as those amounts that are impacted by the consumer price index, as a separate component from lease expense in the subsequent period in which it applies. We account for lease and non-lease components within an operating lease arrangement as separate components. The components of lease expense were as follows (dollars in thousands):
Sub-lease income was not material. Supplemental cash flow information related to leases were as follows (dollars in thousands):
Our future minimum annual rental payments of our operating leases as of June 30, 2019 are listed as follows (dollars in thousands):
Under various lease and rental agreements for offices, warehouses and computer terminals, we had rental expense of $4.0 million, for the year ended December 31, 2018. Future minimum annual rental payments of our operating leases as of December 31, 2018 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | ||
| Basis of Preparation of Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements | Basis of Preparation of Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements Mediacom Broadband LLC (“Mediacom Broadband,” and collectively with its subsidiaries, “we,” “our” or “us”) is a Delaware limited liability company wholly-owned by Mediacom Communications Corporation (“MCC”). MCC is involved in the acquisition and operation of cable systems serving smaller cities and towns in the United States, and its cable systems are owned and operated through our operating subsidiaries and those of Mediacom LLC, a New York limited liability company wholly-owned by MCC. As limited liability companies, we and Mediacom LLC are not subject to income taxes and, as such, are included in the consolidated federal and state income tax returns of MCC, a C corporation. Our principal operating subsidiaries conduct all of our consolidated operations and own substantially all of our consolidated assets. Our operating subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to make funds available to us. We rely on our parent, MCC, for various services such as corporate and administrative support. Our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could differ from those that would have resulted had we operated autonomously or as an entity independent of MCC. See Notes 8 and 9. We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The accounting policies followed during such interim periods reported are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are consistent with those applied during annual periods. For a summary of our accounting policies and other information, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2019. Mediacom Broadband Corporation (“Broadband Corporation”), a Delaware corporation wholly-owned by us, co-issued, jointly and severally with us, public debt securities. Broadband Corporation has no operations, revenues or cash flows and has no assets, liabilities or stockholders’ equity on its balance sheet, other than a one-hundred dollar receivable from an affiliate and the same dollar amount of common stock. Therefore, separate financial statements have not been presented for this entity. |

| Leases | We maintain leases for real estate, office buildings, fiber and office equipment. Our leases have remaining terms ranging from 1 – 20 years, some of which include options to extend the leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet represent our right to use an underlying asset for the operating lease term and lease liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the operating lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the implicit rate of our leases is not easily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. Management uses LIBOR and risk-adjusts that rate to approximate a collateralized rate for us, which will be updated on a quarterly basis for measurement of new lease liabilities. We apply the incremental borrowing rate on a portfolio basis to all asset classes. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and is adjusted for lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We account for variable lease payments, such as those amounts that are impacted by the consumer price index, as a separate component from lease expense in the subsequent period in which it applies. We account for lease and non-lease components within an operating lease arrangement as separate components. |
