Six Stations Launch NextGen TV In Honolulu

Switching on the new transmission standard are Allen Media’s KITV (ABC) and KIKU (independent), Gray Television’s KGMB (CBS) and KHNL (NBC) and Nexstar Media Group’s KHON (Fox) and KHII (MNT).

Today’s launch in Honolulu follows a decade of development and months of planning and preparation by the local stations. KHII has converted to ATSC 3.0 transmissions and is broadcasting its own programming, as well as the programming of the other participating stations, in the NextGen TV format.

All programming of all participating stations will continue to be available in the existing DTV format, which can be received on all modern television sets.

BitPath, which is developing new data broadcasting services, led the planning process and coordinated efforts across the six television stations.
