History

BCI was established as “AstroStar” in October 1985 as a not-for-profit, taxable subsidiary of Consolidated Electric Cooperative (CEC) in order to bring affordable TV programming to rural consumers. Internet access was added to BCI’s offerings in November 1995. In October 1997, AstroStar’s name was changed to Bright Choice with the idea of creating a “Bright” family of products and services in connection with Bright.Net. In 2008, Bright Choice's name was simplified into the acronym BCI.
