Welcome to CSC's Home Page!
Communications Support Corporation provides local cable television franchising agencies (generally cities and counties) with technical advice and inspection services. Our services are usually necessary during and before cable television franchise awards, transfers, and renewals.

We also provide technical support when subscriber problems with picture quality reach a high level.
