Dielectric and SCMS have partnered, giving SCMS the distribution rights to Dielectric’s FM radio antenna products and systems in the United States.
The new partnership marks Dielectric’s first distribution agreement for the domestic FM radio market.
According to a joint press release, “Dielectric will direct new leads to the SCMS sales team and work directly with customers on design specifications as needed” and “SCMS will aggressively market Dielectric antennas, filters/combiners and RF systems to FM customers seeking to replace, upgrade or add to existing infrastructure.”
Southern Coastal Marketing Services (SCMS) is a privately-held broadcast/AV equipment solutions provider. Founded in 1976, the company is based in North Carolina with sales reps and broadcast engineers across the U.S. and Latin America. According to a SCMS representative, the company has been distributors for all the major FM antenna manufacturers. SCMS says it will continue to sell those other products if Dielectric does not have an equivalent model or cannot provide what the customer needs.
Based in Raymond, Maine, Dielectric is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinclair Broadcast Group. The company has been building and delivering antennas and RF systems, serving global markets, since 1942.
“Dielectric’s reputation in the broadcast business is strong and enduring, and together with SCMS we offer 130 years of industry experience to our customers,” said Matt Cauthen, vice president of SCMS, in the press release.
