Station groups are sitting on an asset companies would pay billions for: broadcast spectrum.
ATSC 3.0 infrastructure will position stations to not just create their own OTT platforms, but also lease a portion of their spectrum for datacasting needed for smart cities, enhanced GPS, infotainment, autonomous vehicle control, and a host of IoT use cases.
An LTN Global webinar, produced and presented by TVNewsCheck, will explore the scope of new revenue opportunities and how TV station groups are preparing to monetize their investment in ATSC 3.0 technology.
Set for Thursday, January 20 at 1 p.m. ET, the webinar, “Bringing In New Revenue Streams with ATSC 3.0 Infrastructure,” will feature a conversation among four leading NextGen TV strategists, moderated by LTN Global’s VP Major Accounts, Mary Crebassa.
