D.C. Market First to Get Mobile DTV Broadcasts

Washington, D.C. will be the first market where consumers will be able to view live, over-the-air digital TV broadcasts on a number of next-generation mobile devices, from cell phones to laptops. The consumer trial, announced Monday (April 20) by the Open Mobile Video Coalition at the National Association of Broadcasters Show in Las Vegas, is set to go live by late summer.

Initial participants in mobile DTV trial are: Fox Television Stations’ WDCA-DT, Gannett Broadcasting’s WUSA-DT, ION Media Networks’ WPXW-DT, NBC Universal’s WRC-DT, PBS’ WHUT-DT and MHz Networks, Sinclair Broadcast Group’s operated WNUV-DT and National Datacast.
