Bob Cauthen This is one in a series sharing insights from companies participating in the NAB Show. SCMS is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The company was founded as a regional radio equipment supplier by President Bob Cauthen and his late wife, Gloria, and it has evolved into a national solutions provider. Matt Cauthen is vice president. Radio World: How will SCMS participate in the show, where can attendees find you? Bob Cauthen: We have several customer events, dinners and gatherings in the books, and have a large Monday evening reception to celebrate the anniversary with our vendors and customers. Customer meetings are top priority on the show floor, where we will discuss projects and products. We primarily will be in and out of the GatesAir and Dielectric booths and we surely will have spontaneous conversations along the way. RW: Bob, this is NAB Show No. 49 for you. What do you remember about the first one? Bob Cauthen: This would have been my 50th if not for the pandemic. My first NAB experience was Chicago, and it was exciting, though the event was less grand in scale. The exhibit spaces were small but accommodating to the vendors of the day, and I recall hearing complaints about the unions. The next event was in Washington. It was much bigger and spread across several hotels and exhibit centers. It was interesting to see such noticeable growth from my first to second experience, though the logistics made it more challenging to absorb. RW: You’re a family-owned business. How has SCMS differentiated itself from its distributor competitors, especially in recent years? Bob Cauthen: Radio World published an article in 2001 in which I stated the belief that relationships are the key to being successful. Of course, successful relationships in this industry require good service, great products, timely shipments and competitive pricing. SCMS has excelled in all areas over the years, and today we have a tremendous staff spread throughout the United States. As the industry has matured and we have entered a pattern of minimal year-on-year growth, we have diversified our offering to continue expanding our business. We have established successful AV and wireless divisions over the last 10 years through our SoleSource brand. We generate substantial revenue through our e-commerce websites across all divisions, and our integration efforts are now developing significant new business growth. Broadcast remains our core business, but these additions have been… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 days ago - RAIN Notes: April 14-- Is radio still viable?
