(TV Tech): Chicago Television Stations Launch NextGen TV Services

Posted on February 21, 2024 in ATSC News

CHICAGO—Viewers in America’s third-largest television market now have access to NextGen TV with the launch of ATSC 3.0 broadcasts by five Chicago stations.

The launch makes Chicago the latest large market to begin offering NextGen TV, aka ATSC 3.0, broadcasts in recent months. It follows the launch of services in New York in October, the launch of 3.0 broadcasts on additional stations in Miami in December and the announcement in late December that ATSC 3.0 broadcasts would come to Chicago in early 2023.

Chicago viewers can now access five channels over-the-air for free with Nextgen TV, including: CBS’ WBBM-TV (CBS, channel 2); Fox’s WFLD-TV (Fox, channel 32); NBC’s WMAQ-TV (NBC, channel 5); WGN (WGN, channel 9); and Univision’s WGBO-TV (Univision, channel 66).
