CableSeek® is Patriot’s proprietary national cable system database that consists of the specific operating boundaries of every local cable system in the United States. Matched to PreciseCalc®, Patriot can immediately identify the local cable system a caller belongs to, whether or not cable systems offer a particular network and even route callers to their appropriate local cable systems. CableSeek® is ideal for affiliate acquisition and retention programs, consumer promotions, sweepstakes and pay-per-view events. Patriot can immediately deliver faxes to local cable systems indicating consumer interest.
The Aggressive Approach: Consumers route directly to local cable systems or satellite providers so they can request that the network be added to their cable service.
The Consultative Approach: We capture callers’ names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses as well as provide the local telephone number of the cable system or satellite provider that services them. A letter for each consumer that calls is faxed directly to the local cable system indicating consumer interest in the network.

Used primarily for subscriber acquisition applications, contests and sweepstakes, Web-CableSeek® allows cable subscribers (or potential subscribers) to verify whether or not their cable system carries a network’s programming. Patriot can immediately deliver faxes to local cable systems indicating consumer interest.
