The recent launch event of NEXTGEN TV availability of ATSC 3.0 in the Minneapolis area included the attendance of Minn. Senator Amy Klobuchar to voice her support for the new, free service that Minnesota viewers now get.
According to ATSC 3.0, with the Senator’s vested interest to help save local journalism, NEXTGEN TV plays an important role in preserving and strengthening local news to be competitive among digital peers.
Minneapolis now joins more than 70 markets across the U.S. voluntarily making the NEXTGEN TV transition. These stations have come together in technical collaboration to ensure that the next generation of broadcasting is secure, including its talent. And, the device ecosystem—NEXTGEN TVs, antennas and accessory devices at retail, are also supporting consumer adoption.
Senator Amy KLobuchar was a former presidential candidate and has many years of public service.
