RavCom East

RavCom East, LLC, (formerly Mid-Atlantic Television Group), is an American television broadcasting company founded in 1990 by Keith Edwards, cofounder of RavCom. The company is headquartered in Westminster, Maryland. 
== History ==
Keith Edwards founded RavCom East on June 3, 1990 as Mid-Atlantic Television Group as a subsidiary of then RC Television Media Holdings. It is closely tied to Burns Communications and RavCom West, both being other broadcasting groups owned by RavCom. The three companies share assets, and in several markets across the country have local marketing agreements to operate each others' stations.
RCE's headquarters reside in the former Sears department store at TownMall of Westminster, in Westminster, MD. Their headquarters previously occupied the top floor of the office building at 412 Malcolm Dr in Westminster, MD. The headquarters were moved after more space was needed, and the then vacant space at the mall was ready for lease.
== The Source News Network ==
In 2021, RavCom launched The Source News Network, the successor of failed Barrett Broadcasting Network as a cable-only news channel (with the exception of 1-hour long morning and nightly newscasts from SNN airing on all stations owned by any group under RavCom.) The broadcasts cover news from around the United States, as well as from around the world. It also provides political opinions from the entire spectrum, ranging from radical left and right to neutral positions, as they bring in political figures and commentators. The entire service itself does lean more towards a conservative view, yet believes in full coverage that is non-biased and covers all sides of the story.
== Graphics & Music ==
In mid-October 2023, RCE updated their "Coast" graphics, giving it a fresher feel. On their "The Source" branded stations, the graphics are colored according to the color scheme of the logo. This gives the GFX a new, sleek and modern feel. All stations owned by RCE currently use Aerial by Stephen Arnold Music during newscasts.
As of May 2024, RavCom East's design team is in the works of creating a brand new graphics package set to release in December 2025 if not sooner. The work-in-progress graphics are currently being tested and shown on-air on ABC affiliate WTTF-TV. An official music package for the rebrand is not yet released, but some options have been considered.
== Stations ==
RC East owns 24 television stations in 19 different markets across the United States. (most of which are still being added to this page.) Station ownership by RCE is limited to the east of a boundary drawn by RavCom in the middle of the United States. Stations west of this line are owned by RavCom West, LLC.
