What CP Communications does

CP Communications is a privately held, U.S.-based broadcast media and live event production services provider founded in 1985 and headquartered in Yorktown Heights, New York, with a regional office and production studio (Studio C) in St. Petersburg, Florida. The company delivers end-to-end live event production support for tier-1 broadcasters and major sports and entertainment organizations — including FOX Sports, ESPN, NBC Sports, NFL Network, the USGA, and the New York Road Runners — across marquee events such as the Super Bowl (27 consecutive years of service), Stanley Cup Final, Kentucky Derby, NYC Marathon, SXSW, and the Olympics.

Its technology stack is built around IP-based and bonded cellular remote production (REMI) workflows, proprietary wireless audio/video transmission, and a Private Wireless Network (PWN) leveraging Verizon Wireless technology and Nokia hardware. Core products and platforms include the Red House Streaming (RHS) content acquisition and distribution brand, TIMCam wireless camera technology, Mobile Viewpoint (MVP) Agile Airlink encoders, MulticamSTREAM and ProductionSTREAM remote production solutions, Green-Go digital intercom, and frequency coordination services. The company also operates RHStv, its streaming television network and digital distribution platform, and is the official U.S. rental and sales partner for Mark Roberts Motion Control (MRMC) robotic camera systems.

CP Communications generates revenue through five primary streams: equipment rental, equipment sales, technical staffing and engineering services, systems integration for studios and production facilities, and channel-driven distribution of partner technologies (notably MRMC robotic cameras). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; engagements are governed by custom quotes and statements of work with multi-year contract cadences. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting major broadcasters, sports leagues, and entertainment companies, supplemented by direct studio-based production services from the Florida facility. The company employs 101-250 people, is privately held with no external funding rounds disclosed, and reports no parent company or external PE/VC backing. Leadership is led by CEO Kurt Heitmann and President Michael Mason (27-year veteran), with two newly appointed female VPs added in June 2026.
