Leading news executives discussed ATSC 3.0 and new tools for both sending alerts and providing on-going news and information after the alerts are sent. Discussion covered topics including opportunities for geo-targeting, automation, and reaching smartphones and connected cars. One thing was unanimous; everyone agrees that AWARN is leading the way for implementing ATSC 3.0.

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.

AWARN facilitated a successful roundtable discussion in Chicago preceding the News Technology Summit. Leaders from National Broadcast News, Public and Local TV as well as International partners, met for over four hours to discuss the implications and opportunities that ATSC 3.0 will bring to their newsroom.

The second roundtable takes place on OCT 8 in LA, hosted by Magid and held at their Sherman Oaks, CA office. Register here to take your seat at the table while there’s still room!
