Mumbai: The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is all set to open in Las Vegas on 5 January with ATSC again taking exhibit space to showcase the expansion of next-generation TV by broadcasters and the growing list of consumer technology companies who are supporting the effort with integrated ATSC 3.0 receivers.
 
With the recent expansion of Nextgen TV service in Los Angeles, CA and Washington DC, the next-generation broadcasting now reaches nearly half of all American viewers, it said on Monday. Stations in 46 US markets now offer Nextgen TV powered by ATSC 3.0, and market-by-market service launches are expected to continue throughout 2022.

“With South Korea in its sixth year of ATSC 3.0 services, Jamaica launching commercial services in 2022 and other countries also considering the ATSC 3.0 broadcasting standard, next year is promising to carry forward the tremendous momentum of 2021,” said ATSC President Madeleine Noland.  “We’re excited to carry that message to CES in Las Vegas, as the consumer technology industry gathers to mark new innovations for the coming year.”

Over 2200 exhibitors are confirmed to exhibit in person at CES 2022, which is set to begin on 5 January. According to organisers, in the last two weeks, 143 additional companies have signed up to exhibit in person. The event will also close one day early on January 7 in view of the current health protocols.
