  • Multicasts, ATSC 3.0 Turn Broadcasting Into a Multichannel Platform
    Perspectives from FSF Scholars October 12, 2020 Vol. 15, No. 53 Multicasts, ATSC 3.0 Turn Broadcasting Into a Multichannel Platform by Andrew Long * I. Introduction and Summary Consumers today enjoy a wealth of choices in the multichannel video programming distribution marketplace. This vibrantly competitive environment represents a dramatic departure from decades past, when claims as to the existence of bottlenecks were used to justify intrusive government intervention. One rising, and perhaps unexpected and largely unreported, source of multichannel competition is over-the-air broadcasting. Of course, dramatic changes in the media marketplace have been occurring for many years – and yet, due to its size, procedures, and inherent inertia, the "Communications Regulatory Complex" simply is unable to keep pace, especially in the face of considerable reflexive opposition by those who oppose any deregulatory changes. But with regard to broadcasting, cable, direct broadcast satellite (DBS), telco TV, and other media outlets, continued imposition of legacy regulatory restrictions of various types are in increasing tension with their First Amendment rights. Over the last ten years, the number of U.S. households that utilize an antenna to view their local television stations has increased by over a third, from nearly 11.8 million to 16 million. One explanation for that is the improved picture and audio quality that digital television (DTV) The Free State Foundation P.O. Box 60680, Potomac, MD 20859 [email protected] www.freestatefoundation.org delivers. Another is that, as consumers "cut the cord" – that is, discontinue their subscriptions to traditional multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) and transition to streaming options like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and/or Amazon Prime Video – over-the-air television provides a free means to continue to receive the popular content, both national and local, that television stations carry.

    THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX 2018 ANNUAL REPORT L S Dear Fellow Shareholders, As I write this letter, I have never been more optimistic about the strength and future of our company. Over the past year, we have continued to demonstrate our place at the forefront of the industry as we identify new avenues for growth and revenue, and defy expectations of what a broadcaster can do. e results speak for themselves, and I am happy to report that we currently have what we believe to be the strongest balance sheet in our company’s history. With approximately half of our revenue now coming from subscription-based services and a dedicated distribution sta , we are well poised to continue building on this upward trend, providing visibility and consistency in our results going forward. e fundamentals of our company are more than just nancially strong, they also represent the culmination of years of thinking outside the box that has strategically positioned Sinclair Broadcast Group to capitalize on the ever-changing trends in our industry. inking Outside the Box Since our founding in 1971, Sinclair has been de ned by our commitment to expanding access to broadcast television and quality programming. is has been our guiding principle throughout.
