Cable Video Store (CVS), is a defunct pay-per-view (PPV) service that was launched in 1985 by General Instruments.[1] It was later owned by Graff Pay-Per-View.[2] Cable Video Store consisted of one channel which carried first run movies and specials (however it did not carry the big events such as boxing or wrestling) on a PPV basis. They also offered low cost programs to buy along with the standard PPV fare.
CVS went off the air in 1997 as the result of other pay-per-view services such as Viewer's Choice (now known as iN Demand) and Request TV that provided multi-channels of PPV and the launching of Video on Demand on many cable systems.[3]
