NCTC is a not-for-profit, member-operated purchasing organization. Our mission is to reduce the operating costs of our member cable companies. NCTC negotiates and administers master affiliation agreements with cable television programming networks, cable hardware and equipment manufacturers and other service providers on behalf of our member companies. Through joint purchasing and negotiation, NCTC functions similar to a multi-system operator (MSO), taking advantage of volume discounts offered by programming networks, hardware manufacturers, and other providers.   This results in significant cost savings for members on the purchase of these products and services. In 1984, NCTC opened its doors with 12 member companies and began helping small- and medium-sized cable operators. Today, NCTC has more than 1,000 member companies that serve more than 12 million subscribers. We are proud to say that our members operate more than half the franchised cable systems throughout the United States. Our member companies range in size from fewer than 100 subscribers to more than 1 million.       All Information on This Site is Private, Confidential, and is for Member Use Only       NCTC: 11200 Corporate Ave., Lenexa, KS 66219-1392 | Phone: (913) 599-5900 | Fax: (913) 599-5903              © 1999-2008 National Cable Television Cooperative, Inc.
