Aberdeen Broadcast Services was started in 2001 by siblings, Matthew Cook, Amy (Cook) McKay and Becky (Cook) Isaacs. Amy brought her live-captioning experience, Becky, a history in the broadcast industry, and Matt, his engineering degree and entrepreneurial spirit, forming a combination of passion, talent, and quality.

From their humble beginnings to over 50 team members strong, Aberdeen has branched out from being just a captioning company to much more—providing not only closed captioning services, but language services such as translation, multi-language subtitling, and voice overs, as well as digital file delivery services. What was once Aberdeen Captioning Inc., is now Aberdeen Broadcast Services, and is comprised of three core departments: AberFast, AberCap, and AberLingo.
