About CATV Services

CATV Services, Inc. was founded in 1975 by Richard C. Richmond. During its first two years of operation, it functioned primarily as a manufacturers representative organization. By the 1980’s CATV Services had expanded in size, staff, and ability, to handle our customers needs both in new and reconditioned equipment.

Under the direction of CATV Services current president, Ryan Richmond, the company has evolved into a “Master Wholesale Broker”. The company’s present business mode includes providing major cable television system owners with a holistic excess inventory disposal plan. This solution, on contractual basis, includes providing on-site inventories and disposal of excess and obsolete equipment. Field managers, who are seasoned CATV professionals, work on-site to confirm and document the existing materials deemed to be in excess.

Utilizing bar code scanners, and the latest available computer technology, updated inventory information from field managers around the world is consolidated at CATV Services Miami office for disposition to wholesalers or end users.

Virtually all of the major cable television organizations have found these services to be extremely efficient in the disposal process. Adhering to the philosophy of providing unique services, CATV Services, Inc. is now moving into the materials management and inventory control arena. These services will be offered to various cable television organizations as a package. The enticement to the cable television operator is the defraying of costs by the sale of excess materials. CATV Services, Inc. customers benefit from CATV Services, Inc.’s expertise in appropriately identifying, sorting and packaging of materials. These materials are then shipped on a timely basis to the various brokers who further benefit from a dependable source of materials.

CATV Services, Inc. presently enjoys a solid and growing financial base and after 33 years in the cable television industry we have unparalleled access to the leading decision makers in the cable television marketplace.
