Community antenna televisions (CATV) also go by several synonyms, including cable television, cable TV, or simply cable. These terms refer to a system of delivering television programming by cable or optical fiber rather than broadcast transmission or satellite technology. The use of cable technology enables cable operators to provide a wide range of programming options, including premium channels, video-on-demand, pay-per-view events, and interactive services. Other terms that may be used interchangeably with CATV include closed-circuit television (CCTV), shared antenna television (SAT), and master antenna television (MATV). Despite the different labels, all of these technologies aim to provide high-quality television programming to a specific geographic area or community.
