As general manager, I want to personally thank you for being our customer! For many years, the residents of Waycross have learned to trust Waycross Cable Company as their hometown cable provider. 2009 was a memorable one in the history of Waycross Cable Company. We now have a new name, Mediastream.  We brought you Video On Demand with hundreds of hours of free content for digital cable customers and access to the top movies with many available the same day as their DVD release. We launched digital phone service that is saving our customers hundreds of dollars a year compared to what they had been paying. We upgraded all of our standard High Speed Internet customers to twice as fast 6 Mbps speed at no additional charge. Our team worked hard to serve you, our neighbors and we look forward to continuing to work hard to earn your business.

Meet the Manager 

Steve Sippel is the new General Manager of Mediastream. We thought you might want to know a little about Steve before you run into him at our office on Havanna Avenue: 

Q: Your first day on the job, what did you notice most? 
Steve: I noticed that the Mediastream team is committed to doing right by their neighbors – with superior customer service. Many companies talk that talk, but the team here lives it. I am delighted to be a part of this Waycross team. 

Q: What brought you here?
Steve: Mediastream has just become part of James Cable. I was serving as General Manager for another James’ cable system in Georgia when I was named GM of this operation. Over my 30 years in community-based cable, I have enjoyed meeting the folks in town and becoming part of the communities that I serve. I will be based in Waycross, and my wife and I are looking for our new home here now. Any suggestions? 

Q: What kinds of new things will Mediastream customers see?
Steve: Mediastream will still be Mediastream, delivering great products with excellent customer service to the families and businesses of Waycross and surrounding Ware and Brantley counties. We will continue to look for opportunities to improve what we can do for you. Of course, if anyone has ideas they’d like to share, I would like to hear them. Here are the important questions … 

Q: What’s your favorite BBQ style?
Steve: I will be looking for the best pulled pork in town. I am also very happy to know that the National BBQ Festival will be here in November. 

Q: Your favorite TV show?
Steve: My wife and I enjoy the Food Network because it has shows about the food that is popular in different areas across the country. When I happen to have the TV to myself, you’ll find me watching any Outdoors show. 

Thank you, Steve 
Welcome to Waycross! We’ll see you around town.
