Station group pushes over-the-air channels in upfront pitches

Nexstar Media said it plans to launch Rewind TV, a new digital subchannel airing classic sitcoms from the 1980s and 1990s, on Sept. 1.

Channel available in 43 top markets

The E.W Scripps Co. said it will launch two multicast TV networks, Doozy and Defy TV, adding to the stable in its new national networks business.

Programming will feature well-known reality shows and lifestyle content

As they transition to ATSC 3.0, the Next Gen TV transmission standard, broadcasters want the FCC to clarify/modify the TV station license framework for simulcasting to extend to multicast streams.
