MCV Broadband (Full name Marianas Cable Vision Broadband) is a Telecommunications company headquartered in Dededo, Guam that specializes in Cable television, telephone, and broadband ISPs. MCV services customers the United States territories of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, as well as the military installations in the area.
MCV is owned by Seaport Capital, an investment company based in New York City. Seaport acquired the company in 2005 and is one of several cable companies Seaport has an ownership stake in, the others being Everest Cable, MetroCast Cablevision, Mid-Missouri Telephone Company and Otelco Holdings.
MCV's TV cable lineup (as of 2007) includes 67 analog channels, 31 digital channels, 16 premium movie channels, 4 PPV channels and 47 music audio channels. A majority of the channels are devoted to Asian programming (from Japan, The Philippines, China and Korea), as well as programming from Australia. While most of the basic and premium channels in this lineup are delayed by satellite from the United States (via the west coast feed), others like CNN, MSNBC, and ESPN are broadcasting live through a different feed.
