LPTVBA is proud to have a seat at the table.

On April 17, 2023, Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel announced the “Future of Television Initiative” (the FTI). The FOTVI is a public-private partnership to establish a roadmap for the future of broadcast television has met monthly for a year. We are not awaiting the publications of our suggestions and comments.

To be clear, LPTVBA is all in favor of broadcasters being able to choose the broadcast protocol which works best for their community in serving the public interest without the requirement to simulcast in ATSC 1.0. However, the LPTVBA is not in favor of a sunset for ATSC 1.0. 

The LPTVBA is proud to have been a member of working Group 2, organized by the NAB.
