Cencom Cable Television was a cable television distributor in the Greater St. Louis, Missouri-Metro-East, Illinois Metropolitan area between 1985 and 1993. Cencom bought out Storer Cable in late 1985, and transformed that Florissant cable outlet into Cencom. Cencom was the home of the St. Louis Cardinals Cable Network between 1986 and 1989, televising 50 home games in each of those seasons. Cencom was sold out to Crown Cable a subsidiary of Hallmark Cards, in 1993, thus Cencom became Crown Cable, until Charter Communications took over two years later.
