WV Telco Board Mandates Live TV

WV Telco Board Mandates Live TV

Riverton, WV – Northeastern West Virginia is home to Spruce Knob Seneca Rocks Telco (SKSRT), where the cooperative board decided to upgrade its video system as a commitment to providing local service to its members.

Situated in the small town of Riverton, SKSRT offers fiber internet, video, and voice services to approximately 1,500 customers across 600 miles of fiber. Video Technical Director Stacy Waggy says that they have been happy with the decision to utilize the MG-TV solution from Innovative Systems.

One of their goals for the new MG-TV customer experience is for customers to engage with features they have not had before. One of those features is Restart TV, and Waggy is looking forward to utilizing the Innovative Systems-produced video tutorials. An efficient way to do this is to stream them to one of the channels in their lineup so they can access them right from their program guide.

Providing a range of services to customers, similar to SKSRT, is becoming increasingly important. Recently, a rural operator pointed out that Amazon is aiming to dominate the home service market with its upcoming launch of Amazon LEO Internet, which will complement its offerings in video, music, and other consumer services.
