ATSC meets in Washington to review BPS and receivers
ATSC is holding its annual meeting in Washington D.C. next week to discuss advancements in ATSC 3.0, including progress on the Broadcast Packet Specification (BPS), efforts to develop low-cost consumer receivers, and global adoption of the standard.
Key Takeaways
- ATSC’s annual meeting runs for two days in Washington, D.C., next week.
- Agenda items include progress on the Broadcast Packet Specification (BPS).
- The group will also discuss low-cost consumer receivers for ATSC 3.0.
- Global adoption of ATSC 3.0 is on the meeting agenda.

ATSC’s meeting brings three practical ATSC 3.0 issues into one forum: the Broadcast Packet Specification (BPS), low-cost consumer receivers, and global adoption. That matters because each item speaks to a different part of deployment, from technical implementation to consumer hardware access and international uptake. For the streaming and broadcast ecosystem, the signal is that the standard’s next phase is still being worked through in public, not closed out. Watch for any concrete updates from the Washington, D.C. agenda on BPS progress and receiver cost discussions.
