The Texas cable industry’s impact on the state’s economy has grown, according to a study done for the industry by the Bortz Media and Sports Group.

The industry employed 112,410 Texans “directly or indirectly” and put more than $15.9 billion into the economy last year, the study said.

In 2008, another study by the same group group found that the Texas cable industry supported 97,138 jobs and nearly $14.7 billion in impact.
