Broadcasters have gotten a green light from the Federal Communications Commission to better pave the way for the next generation of over-the-air TV.
The FCC has adopted rules to help both broadcasters and their viewers during the transition to a new ATSC 3.0 transmission standard, including allowing for a new, if temporary, expansion of broadcast licenses and making clear that broadcasters can strike deals for carriage by another station of their digital multicast subchannels as well as their primary signal.
