Future of Television Initiative Report Released
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) released the final report on the Future of Television Initiative (FOTVI). The FOTVI was a public-private partnership that convened broadcasters, equipment manufacturers, pay TV companies and public interest advocates under the FCC and NAB’s leadership to ensure a smooth transition to the ATSC 3.0 standard.
The report reflects the momentum behind Next Gen TV, which services 75+ markets, reaching over 75% of U.S. households, and the importance of completing the transition to ATSC 3.0 which will ensure that all consumers have access to high quality, free and local over-the-air television.
“The ATSC 3.0 standard is revolutionary for consumers, giving local TV stations tools to innovate and better serve their audiences with hyperlocal programming, an enhanced picture and interactive features. We appreciate the FCC for initiating this collaborative process,” said NAB President and CEO Curtis LeGeyt. “We look forward to continuing to work with incoming Chairman Brendan Carr to rapidly complete this essential transition to the next generation of television.”
