Antenna television is back. In recent years, millions of cord-cutters have rediscovered antennas as a reliable way to watch broadcast networks like ABC, NBC, and FOX, all for free — and now, broadcasters are eager to get the rest of us hooked. They’ve been marching ahead with the deployment of ATSC 3.0, a next-generation broadcast format that supports 4K, HDR, Dolby Atmos audio, and even interactive apps over the air, no cable or streaming subscription required. A little over a year ago, one of the country’s biggest broadcasters made an unexpected acquisition to help bolster the transition: The E.W. Scripps Company, which operates dozens of ABC, NBC and Fox stations as well as a handful of nationwide broadcast networks, quietly bought Nuvyyo, a Canadian startup best known for its Tablo DVR devices for cord-cutters. The acquisition, which hasn’t been previously reported, is part of Scripps’ multibillion-dollar bet on acquiring stations, networks, and spectrum for an ATSC 3.0-powered antenna TV future.

Is there tech out yet so that the Gen Zs and Millennials can stream multiple social media full-time?

I know one Gen Z who was so whack addicted to social media that his parents had to put him into a specialized rehab multiple times. Each time it was a fail. If he doesn't get his stuff together, the psychiatrist said long-term commitment to a psychiatric hospice facility is the last remaining solution.

TV is not the problem. Social media is. Try to take it away or make it so that users can't use it as they do now, and there will be world revolution. Social media is more important to people than their own health. Many live 100% of their social lives through it. Fact.

Many parts of the word are developing, though, with most people still living on only a few dollars a day. That means aerial TV and even radio (esp. AM) are still dominant, with cheap smart phones used to access mostly textual info in places where there is a signal.

While the U.S. as usual lags behind in implementation of NexGenTV tech. Only a small number of broadcasters employ it.
