The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) announced today the launch of the NextGen TV News Technology Lab, a three-year initiative designed to help local stations harness the power of NextGen TV (ATSC 3.0) to better serve their communities through locally focused journalism. ATSC 3.0 is the world’s first and only IP based broadcast standard that inherently supports broadcast and broadband delivery of content, and it offers numerous new tools and capabilities that aren’t possible with the legacy ATSC 1.0 standard. The NextGen TV News Technology Lab will enable broadcasters to build and experiment with new and innovative services that will ultimately help them better engage with their communities. The project is made possible by a $2.5 million grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
