Re: ATSC 3.0
@clrmoney, it does uneash innovation for generating new advertising revenues.  It will be interesting, however, how they use this unlimited power and whether or not the innovations and applications make broadcasting actually better.

I guess time will tell.

Broadcasters Excited
Maybe broadcast executives are excited about ATSC 3.0 because of the potential for more advertising dollars, but what does it really mean to the typical television viewer? Most likely, the viewer will end up bearing the cost of employing ATSC 3.0. It could be exciting, though, with the anticipation of 3D TV.

Re: Broadcasters Excited
@srufolo1 It is possible that the cost of ATSC 3.0 will be past on to the consumer but broadcaster walk a tightrope now where price and content are hard to balance and if one tips too far in the wrong direction the cord is cut.

Re: Broadcasters Excited
@afwriter  True, it is quite a balancing act for the broadcaster, hence the uncertainty part for them. Consumers are just so sick of paying too much for cable, etc ...

Re: Broadcasters Excited
@afwriter - You're definitely right, networks, advertisers and cable companies will have to figure out the right balance when it comes to advertising, but I think it's a game they're very used to playing. Just because the regulations are changing, doesn't mean the preferences of viewers is going to change. They are aware of the possibility of OTT and what they need to do to retain customers, for the most part. Or so it seems.

Re: Broadcasters Excited
srufalo1- at the moment it looks more like the revenue model associated with it will be advertising; so advertisers will pick it up. But its hard to say -- too early in the game. We'll have to see how the industry decides to deal with it.

Re: Broadcasters Excited
That's not a good deal for TV stations then. 

It's not like they can raise ad rates just for a new technology standard. Those levels of costs are what has pushed broadcast to the brink in favor of cable.

Re: Broadcasters Excited
dcawrey - some of the targetting features could help substantially increase ad rates with ATSC 3.0. So it might be worth it. Also could reach new distribution platforms, so get new eyeballs/ratings. It's all a bit in the air (literally and figuratively!) but there is potential for more revenue. And they have to upgrade to UHD at some point anyway.

ATSC 3.0
Maybe advertisers stand to make the most revenue, but personally, I think consumers stand to gain the most. According to the article at the link below, ATSC 3.0 means no more loud commercials. And I think that's swell!

Is this necessary?
After further thought, I have to wonder how necessary the new requirements are. From my understanding it only makes a difference if you have a television that can handle the bandwith. Do people even have these televisions? Personally, our home hasn't had a new television in at least 5 years.
