ACA Connects: Stay Safe and Healthy

ACA Connects is dedicated to its members and the customers they serve, especially now amid the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, which has touched every corner of the United States and challenged every person, industry, government and anchor institution.

Over the past few weeks, ACA Connects has striven to offer timely information and helpful resources related to the health crisis. The organization will continue to provide useful updates as conditions warrant.

As you will see from the two video Public Service Announcements (PSAs) here (one, two), ACA Connects members are indeed public servants, uniting the country by offering vital communications services that keep people connected to family, friends, and co-workers. The tasks of a typical ACA Connects member largely occur in rural outposts that are generally more expensive to serve.

But because of the emphasis that ACA Connects members place on quality and attention to detail, rural America is seeing some of the fastest Internet speeds on record at affordable prices. Now that’s service!  ACA Connects encourages members to download the PSAs and run locally on member systems or use in social media posts.

We’d like to offer our sincere thanks to our friends at Viamedia, including President & CEO Mark Lieberman and Chief Marketing and People Officer Becky Jones, for offering to distribute these PSAs to the firm’s multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD) clients, many of whom overlap as ACA Connects members.

“Viamedia stands strong in our commitment to our cable partners, ACA Connects, and each of the local communities we touch on their behalf nationwide. We care about local businesses and each member of the local communities in which we serve and we are proud to be a part of this innovative and caring industry. We are delighted to see the platforms we have to reach communities used in such a positive way,” Viamedia’s Lieberman said.

Additionally, ACA Connects greatly appreciates the production assistance of the video technical staff at Frankfort Plant Board, an ACA Connects members in Frankfort, Ky., that offers voice, video and broadband service to its customers. If nothing else, the PSAs illustrate that ACA Connects members are there for all Americans, each and every day and without interruption.
