ATSC 3.0-powered next generation television signals have been launched in the biggest DMA to date: the home of Russell Wilson, and the setting for the cinematic classic “10 Things I Hate About You.”
Seven Seattle TV stations are now broadcasting with NEXTGEN TV, the new digital broadcast standard.
It makes the Seattle-Tacoma DMA the largest market where NEXTGEN signals are available, following the recent launch of Tampa-St. Petersburg.
The stations offering ATSC 3.0-powered signals are Sinclair Broadcast Group‘s ABC and Univision affiliates, KOMO-4 and KUNS-51; Cox Media Group‘s CBS affiliated KIRO-7; FOX O&Os KZJO-22 “Joe TV” and KCPQ-13; and TEGNA‘s NBC and unaffiliated KING-5 and KONG-16.
BitPath led the planning process and coordinated efforts across Seattle’s seven local television stations.
Hello, Regarding your short story about ATSC 3.0 broadcasting. What and when do you think we might see the first real unique (4K) content for this technology to be broadcast? Currently it looks to be the same as the 1.0 signals. I would guess it might be a special event type of programming. I have a tuner so I would be excited to see even a test program.
Thanks
