Timeline

2002

Daniels was married four times and had two stepsons but no children of his own. His brother Jack was a member of the New Mexico House of Representatives and ran for Governor of New Mexico and United States Senator from New Mexico. His niece Diane Denish was elected as the 28th Lieutenant Governor of New Mexico in 2002 and later became a board member of the Daniels Fund.

2000

Daniels died on March 7, 2000, at his home in Rancho Mirage, California after a long illness. In his will, he donated his mansion, Cableland to the city of Denver for use as the official residence of the Mayor of Denver. As of 2010, no mayor has used the home. It is primarily rented for events and the city has considered selling the property to raise money.

1998

In 1998, he founded Prime Ventures, which owned six cable networks and added Prime Networks, a sports channel for his cable systems.

1988

He remained active in the Republican Party, donating more than $100,000 to the party in 1988. He also provided a job in the cable industry to Neil Bush, a son of Vice President George H.W. Bush after Neil's company, Silverado Savings and Loan, failed in the S&L Crisis.

1987

In 1987, Daniels founded the Young Americans Bank, a special bank with a unique Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured state charter. The bank caters only to patrons under the age of 22 and teaches young people about banking and related financial matters.

1974

Daniels became active in politics, winning a seat as a National Committeeman from Colorado for the Republican National Committee and running for the Republican nomination for Governor of Colorado. Daniels faced incumbent Governor John Vanderhoof in the 1974 election. Vanderhoof, who enjoyed strong approval ratings, defeated Daniels in his only attempt at elective office.

1970

A lifelong passionate fan for sports of all sorts, Daniels supported the Denver Grand Prix [1], was a co-owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, and owner of the American Basketball Association's Utah Stars franchise, and a founder of the Los Angeles Express in the United States Football League. Daniels sponsored the USAC Championship Car campaigns of Texan Lloyd Ruby both in 1970 under the Daniels' Cablevision banner and in 1971 while promoting Daniels's Utah Stars franchise and backed boxer Ron Lyle in a championship fight against Muhammad Ali.

1958

He later shifted his focus towards brokering and investment banking for the growing industry. In 1958, he founded Daniels and Associates to specialize in this field. By 1965 his company, Daniels and Associates had brokered in excess of $100 million and this represented about 80 percent of the year's transactions. Daniels owned cable systems as well, with 31 cable systems in 10 states by 1986. When selling his cable systems, he often distributed a portion of the sale proceeds to his employees. One such sale of a system in Alaska resulted in $8 million in payouts to Daniels employees. With Lakers co-owner Jerry Buss, Daniels started the Prime Ticket sports programming network in 1985, which he sold in 1994, sharing $12 million with his employees. In 1990, he sold 49% of Daniels & Associates to company executives. In 2006, after Daniels death, Royal Bank of Canada acquired Daniels & Associates, renaming it RBC Daniels.

1952

Daniels took a chance on this long-distance television market by setting up a microwave feed that delivered Denver programming to Casper, Wyoming in 1952. It was the first broadcast signal sent by microwave feed. His television feed had only one channel and polled his viewers every 90 days on what they preferred to watch.

1941

Daniels was born in Greeley, Colorado and shortly thereafter moved to Hobbs, New Mexico. There he was enrolled at the New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI), a distinguished educational institution located in Roswell, New Mexico. In 1941 he won the New Mexico State Golden Gloves Championships (later in 1969, he financed an amateur boxing team called the Denver Rocks, and supported the International Boxing League.) In 1941, he joined the Navy and became an accomplished fighter pilot both in World War II and the Korean War, retiring with the rank of full commander. Not long after the war, on his way home he happened upon a bar in Denver that was showing a boxing match from out-of-state, and he became interested in the technology that brought television over long distances.
