About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Sinclair Broadcast Group’s Acclaimed “The National Desk” Expands to Evening Broadcast Following Successful Morning Launch

Sinclair Expands “The National Desk” to Late News Time Slots, Giving Viewers Even More Insightful, Real-Time News Coverage Throughout the Day

Sinclair Broadcast Group (Nasdaq: SBGI) announced today it will be expanding its well-received original news program, “The National Desk,” bringing its in-depth, by-the-minute coverage into the evening news hours starting on September 27, 2021. From 10 p.m.-12 a.m. (EDT), and 7 p.m.-9 p.m (PDT), audiences across the country will be able to tune into 68 stations (including all MY and CW Network channels owned-or-operated by Sinclair), STIRR, Sinclair’s free OTT streaming platform, as well as Sinclair’s news websites, for a comprehensive look at the most impactful news stories of the day.

Since its inception in January 2021, “The National Desk” has been met with an enthusiastic reception, providing audiences with commentary-free news from both a local and national perspective. With reporters living in the communities they cover, the network provides an inside look at the real lives of the people and the issues that impact them each day. With this one-of-a-kind model, “The National Desk” is able to elevate the most important local events for a national audience, lifting individual voices and stories that often go unheard.

“Across the board, both in audience research and organically from viewers, we have received exceedingly positive feedback that frequently cites the remarkable, unique value of ‘The National Desk’,” said Chris Ripley, President and CEO of Sinclair. “Going beyond reporting the news, ‘The National Desk’ offers audiences firsthand coverage that is not always available online or on the national level, and we have found that people are eager for this content. Sinclair cannot wait for ‘The National Desk’ to transform evening news after the success we have seen with its morning launch.”

Leading the launch of the “The National Desk’s” evening coverage will be the current News Director of KUTV in Salt Lake City, Mike Garber. In June, Mike will assume the role of Director of Content, overseeing all verticals at “The National Desk,” including morning, digital, and late news. With more than two decades of experience in media, Mike will guide “The National Desk’s” evening content to be the expansive, instant news viewers have come to value since the program’s launch. This summer, “The National Desk” will also be launching a new website and app, giving audiences immediate access to the latest commentary-free news mornings and nights.

The main anchor of “The National Desk’s” evening news is still under consideration and will be announced in the coming months. “The National Desk” morning news is currently hosted by award-winning anchor Jan Jeffcoat, who from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. (EDT), Monday through Friday, gives viewers noteworthy broadcasts with the most pressing news each day.

“Whether you are looking for the day’s biggest headlines, or what’s happening right next door, it is imperative communities small and large can access the news they need anytime, anywhere,” said Scott Livingston, Senior Vice President of News at Sinclair Broadcast Group. “We have seen ‘The National Desk’ do exactly that, and this is why our viewers value its content with such high regard. We look forward to ‘The National Desk’s’ coverage highlighting even more groundbreaking news morning and night, every weekday.”

The National Desk currently runs daily, from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. EDT. Check your local listings for stations carrying The National Desk.
