HARRISBURG – The Broadband Communications Association of Pennsylvania (BCAP) is saddened to learn about the loss of cable pioneer and Armstrong chairman, Jay L. Sedwick of Butler, who passed away Jan. 1, 2024.
BCAP President Todd Eachus shared the following thoughts:
“Jay Sedwick was a man before his time, known for his keen engineering abilities and formidable passion for technology. In the early 1960s, he helped to diversify the family business by adding cable operations to their already growing profile. As a pioneer in the cable industry, Jay helped to lead Armstrong into becoming one of the largest, family-owned cable systems in the United States, and assisted in the creation of our organization, then the Pennsylvania Cable and Television Association (PCTA).
“Throughout his many roles within the Armstrong company, including President, CEO, and most recently as Chairman of the Board, Jay has held firm to the values of strong relationships with its employees and close ties to the communities it serves, along with the company’s excellence for engineering. The cable and broadband industry will forever be grateful to Jay for his extraordinary talents and abilities and leadership. He will be missed. On behalf of the BCAP Board of Directors, staff and members, our hearts, prayers and thoughts are with Jay’s family at this time.”
The Broadband Communications Association of Pennsylvania, a member-driven organization based in Harrisburg, actively promotes broadband cable and telecommunications industry issues in Pennsylvania. BCAP – the nation’s first state cable association – represents cable operators, programmers and equipment suppliers that collectively provide service to nearly 3 million Pennsylvania households and businesses.
