AWARN is based on ATSC 3.0, the Next Generation Television transmission standard. When fully deployed, can deliver geo-targeted, rich-media alerts to an unlimited number of enabled TVs, connected cars, and handheld devices even when cellular fails or the grid is down.
We’re excited to share the scorecard from our recent ATSC 3.0 and the Future of Emergency News & Information webinars. To summarize, we had fantastic attendance and a high level of engagement! This success demonstrated a clear demand for educational offerings about ATSC 3.0 and AWARN.
The most important finding: 96% of respondents voted that ATSC 3.0 was a game-changer for TV news!
These webinars were meant to “level set” participants in our upcoming News Thought Leader Roundtables. We encourage news and news tech professionals and other execs in AWARN Alliance member organizations to join us for these groundbreaking events. For information about the Roundtables or joining the AWARN Alliance, contact John Lawson or Gail Fenkell.
The AWARN Alliance is leading the way for using ATSC 3.0/Next Gen TV to reinvent emergency alerting, and ongoing emergency news and information.
AWARN Alliance members are invited to take part in an event that could shape the way local TV stations cover emergencies for years to come.
