ATSC 3.0 Deployments: Where and When Will NextGen TV be Available?

ATSC 3.0 deployment is well underway in the U.S., as the ATSC has shared that there will be more than 60 first markets -including the top 40 markets-that will bring the NextGen TV standard to its viewers in 2020.

With these markets, ATSC says ATSC 3.0 will reach 70% of all viewers in the U.S. To date, six markets are currently on the air with ATSC 3.0 and two are readying broadcasts, having FCC permission but are not yet on-air. The others listed are part of the first market group.
