Next Gen TV
We Are Seeking Flexibility for Local Stations to Unleash Next Gen TV
Since the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the voluntary deployment of the Next Generation TV standard in 2017, NAB has continued to lead efforts to educate policymakers about Next Gen TV’s great benefits to viewers.
Broadcasters applaud the Commission for recognizing stations’ commitment to innovating and adapting to a digital media landscape to better serve viewers.
The order allows broadcasters to deploy the Next Gen TV standard subject to local simulcasting arrangements using the current DTV standard to preserve service to viewers.
Broadcasters in the U.S. are moving to unleash this next generation of free broadcast TV service, and NAB will continue to work with the FCC to minimize any regulatory roadblocks that may arise as stations transition to the Next Gen TV standard.
