Dear Fellow LPTV Broadcaster and Industry Leaders,

The auction has ended and most of us are still here. While it was not only our hope but the hope of many others that the auction would not take place . . . it did, but it did not have the devastating effect that it might have had.

The world after the auction looks different and amazingly so has a very bright future!

What does that future look like? Not only the amazing possibilities of ATSC 3.0 but the landscape of a nation of people who are increasingly cutting their cable cords and looking for free, over the air, broadcasting content.
