Las Vegas, NV – January 5, 2015 – RCA, the original pioneer of color television and antenna technologies, as well as the #1 selling brand of antenna on the market, continues to challenge consumers to “cut the cord” with the introduction of the “AIR” Ultra-Thin Antenna. The ”AIR” Antenna is superior in UHF performance as well as optimized for VHF high use frequency, allowing consumers to receive free local news, sports, weather and popular TV show broadcasts and break free from hefty monthly cable subscription bills.

Not all flat antennas are the same: the technology inside tells the story of differentiation. Taking it to the next level, the “AIR” Ultra-Thin Antenna has adapted market leading reception technology for consumer amplification with a double sided/layered reception element to maximize and strengthen broadcast signals. The element is the portion of the antenna that is responsible for receiving the signals, such as rabbit ears, however, in the “AIR” Ultra-Thin Antenna, elements are not visible. This means, the highly intricate antenna is double layered where signals broadcast on the same frequency allowing them to strengthen each other, rather than cancel each other out.

“More Americans are seeing the benefits of cutting the cord,” says Ian Geise, Senior Vice President, RCA. “Not only is our technology advancing, but for those looking to cut back on high monthly bills, cutting the cord is a smart economical solution particularly with the increased availability of other streaming services like Netflix and Hulu.”

Like other RCA models, the “AIR” Ultra- Thin Antenna uses SmartBoost amplification to strengthen weak signals and deliver purer channel quality making it easier for the consumer to tune in. Too much amplification can make it harder for your television to attach itself to a proper signal, but SmartBoost provides just the right amount of amplification allowing consumers to watch their favorite shows from NBC, CBS, ABC and other broadcast networks.

There still remains a fear of the unknown with cutting the cord, but if consumers are worried about missing out on their favorite drama or sitcom, the top watched television shows are all available through over-the-air broadcast. Of the 200+ stations received with a cable box, most only watch about 20. RCA not only provides the technology that makes cutting the cord simple, the sleek and ultra-thin design of the brand’s Antennas can be painted to blend in with any living or family room décor.

The non-amplified Paper Thin Antenna (ANT2100F), $69.99, and the amplified version (ANT2150F), $89.99, will launch at the Consumer Electronics Show.
