NEW YORK Sometime this year, millions of viewers will be able to watch free over-the-air TV on a number of mobile devices, from cell phones to laptops.

Sixty-three TV stations in 22 markets reaching 35 percent of U.S. households plan to launch mobile DTV, providing live, local, over-the-air TV to next-generation devices equipped with the new capability.

The news came Thursday in Las Vegas at the International Consumer Electronics Show during a press conference held by the Open Mobile Video Coalition, an alliance of broadcasters working to accelerate the development of mobile DTV.
