National Cable Satellite Corporation: $49.4M Revenue, $44.2M Expenses

National Cable Satellite Corporation earns a C on the efficiency rubric — the median bucket on the NonprofitTruth scale, indicating performance close to the national midpoint across financial reserves, officer compensation, and revenue consistency. Composite score: 50/100.

National Cable Satellite Corporation reported $49.4M in 2023 revenue — a mid-sized nonprofit by U.S. standards. Organizations in this bracket typically operate with a small permanent staff, project-based program structures, and modest reserves. Reserves are the limiting factor: National Cable Satellite Corporation carries relatively few months of operating expenses on its balance sheet, which can leave an organization exposed if a major funding source pauses.

Revenue has declined meaningfully over the five-year filing window — a pattern that warrants attention to underlying funding sustainability. National Cable Satellite Corporation's 2023 revenue is materially below its earlier filings. Officer compensation is on the higher side of the band typical for nonprofits this size: $2.0M in total current-officer compensation against $49.4M in revenue. Not necessarily inappropriate — large healthcare systems and university systems often pay competitively with for-profit equivalents — but worth reading in context. National Cable Satellite Corporation sits in the cultural-nonprofit sector (Arts, Culture & Humanities). Museum, performing-arts, and cultural organizations carry distinctive financial patterns — earned revenue from ticket sales and admissions, plus a heavy reliance on endowment income and major donor cycles.
