JCA Media, LLC was founded by Jim Cottrell as the result of his highly successful transition from musician to consulting and installation services. Jim worked in the early 60’s as a Rock and Roll musician as well as a studio musician. This led to a recording engineering job and back to his roots in the gospel music industry playing full time on the road. He started Jim Cottrell Associates in 1975, a business that included Alpha Recording Inc. (recording studio) in addition to video and audio production services. This adventure included traveling to many states doing audio/video recordings of conferences and conventions. In 1994, Jim started JCA Media, LLC which is the media installation branch. JCA Media, LLC now installs sound, video, lighting, projection and acoustical systems. While the majority of our work is in Kentucky and the surrounding states, JCA Media, LLC has also partnered with customers in Florida, Alabama, Virginia, Colorado and Texas.
