Opened again!!Cable Co-op's front door is now open.Please use our original entrance when entering the Cable Co-op.
In January, we shared that the process of finding the successor to Ralph Potts – Cable Co-op’s General Manager the past thirty-five years – was underway. Today, we are pleased to announce the search has been completed and a contract has been signed. Our new General Manager, Jay Shrewsbury, officially assumed his new role effective April 1, 2022. Jay is no stranger to our organization. He has worked for the Co-op for twenty-two years – initially as a Lead Technician and then later as Operations Manager where he has served for the past four years. His technical and regulatory experience, vision for future growth, and passion for the Oberlin community placed Jay head and shoulders above the other twenty-plus candidates who applied.The Board is grateful for the services provided by the professional recruiting firm we contracted with; we could not have undertaken all the effort necessary for such a search on our own. We had the opportunity to get to know Jay over the years and the Board is certain we will work together for a smooth transition and a bright future for Cable Co-op under his leadership.
Sincerely, Your Cable Co-op Board of Trustee
Statement From New General Manager
Oberlin Cable Co-op will be doing a lot over the next five years. As the new General Manager, I have big plans that will benefit our members, our community, and our staff. Members will always remain in the forefront of everything I do and the decisions I make.
Upcoming plans include upgrading our existing outdoor electronic components to bring more reliability, easier troubleshooting, and to be prepared for the new services we will offer in the future. This year’s priorities are to increase internet upload speeds and to increase stability and reliability of our internet and television services. Cable Co-op will also be hiring a new technician to add to our already outstanding technical staff. This will help ensure our service stays top-notch especially when new services are launched.
I will also strive to continue our support of this great community and to expand upon the numerous things we already do. The future holds many exciting possibilities and as we move closer to launching new services, I will keep you informed.
Kind regards,
Jay Shrewsbury, General Manager, Cable Co-op Inc.
