Mission Statement

Television

“To partner with independent cable systems, allowing them to achieve the highest quality results in Ad Sales.  We give our cable partners their own “share of voice” at the Regional and National level, thereby maximizing potential Ad revenue.”

CableTime’s history and what we can offer:

With over 20 years experience in handling local advertising responsibilities for multiple cable markets, CableTime helps you buy cable with a “one-stop-shopping approach.”  We’ll complete the entire cable buying process by consolidating research, avails, contracts and invoicing from the smallest to the largest of campaigns.  We’ll place cable buys on your behalf by individual system, DMA, state or larger scale multi-market buys.

Our extensive research department will zero in on your demographic and geographic target.  We’ll develop an effective and efficient results-oriented cable advertising schedule.

And the best part for you… we handle all your cable needs without any additional costs to your campaign!

Additionally, over the years, we realized that some cable operators were interested in outsourcing the entire ad sales function so that they could better concentrate on the subscription part of their business.  We have therefore begun to offer complete “turn-key” services, giving operators A – Z ad sales administration.  All these systems have to do is receive a check from CableTime each month.

For the media client, we offer complete strategic media planning and buying services.  Many advertisers have taken advantage of our vast knowledge, experience, professionalism, and excellent service in the implementation of their cable campaign.
