Our Story
Channel Master was founded in Ellenville, New York in 1949 and grew from an innovative television antenna company into one of America's recognized consumer electronics brands. Across changing technologies and changing ways of watching television, Channel Master has continued to evolve while maintaining its connection to over-the-air television.
Our History
Channel Master was founded in Ellenville, New York in 1949 by former Merchant Marine radio operator and television antenna installer Joe Resnick, with the backing of his brothers Harry and Louis Resnick.
As television rapidly expanded across America during the 1950s, Channel Master became a major manufacturer of TV antennas and built a large manufacturing, research and testing operation to support its growth.
By 1960, Channel Master had become a household name and expanded beyond television antennas into transistor radios and other emerging consumer electronics.
Over the following decades, the Channel Master name appeared on products including televisions, turntables, reel-to-reel players, 8-track players and CB radios.
As the television industry changed, Channel Master expanded into satellite reception, including large C-band satellite antennas and later the smaller satellite systems that became increasingly important to television delivery.
The company also manufactured satellite and communications products for residential and commercial applications around the world.
The United States transition from analog to digital over-the-air television in 2009 helped introduce a new generation of consumers to antenna television and created renewed interest in free broadcast TV.
Channel Master expanded its antenna and reception portfolio while developing multiple over-the-air DVR products that helped bring antenna television together with a more modern television experience.
Channel Master continues its long-standing focus on over-the-air television while entering new product categories, including smart home. This marks the beginning of a broader period of product development as new technologies and opportunities emerge.
