Vendors of transmission equipment to low-power TV stations report robust business as their customers contend with two major regulatory initiatives from the FCC — the ongoing move to new channels for LPTVs and translators displaced by the full-power RF repack that concluded last year, and the July 13, 2021, deadline for analog LPTV stations to convert to digital operations.
Meanwhile, there is also increased interest in using LPTV sticks to transmit in the new ATSC 3.0 digital TV standard.
