Plumas-Sierra Telecommunications
Similar to the 1930s when rural Americans lived without electricity, many rural families were without television 50 years later, relying on radio and newsprint as their primary source of information for weather and news. Plumas-Sierra Telecommunications began offering C-Band Satellite TV service to rural customers in underserved communities in 1987. PST formed when its parent company, Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative—an innovative provider of Internet and telecommunications services continually striving to meet critical needs in its community—joined the National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative. Both companies are located in Plumas County on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. As technology advanced, PST provided DIRECTV satellite television service to local communities in 1994 through its partnership with NRTC until July 15, 2011, when its local servicer agreement expired.
