UPDATED 2/13/2024: Madeleine Noland, president of the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) reported in January 2024 that “with U.S. NextGen TV market launches in 2024 coming soon for Chicago, San Diego, and Tucson, we’re projecting that NextGen TV will cross the 75% household reach milestone in February – a significant achievement that also will mark 75 Nielsen broadcast markets with service.

Pearl TV recently predicted that more than 10 million NextGen TV capable devices will have shipped by the end of 2023. 

Just before CES 2024 , the Consumer Technology Association announced industry results for 2023 sales and projections for the coming year, with the cumulative U.S. installed base of NextGen TV receivers topping 10.3 million and consumer sales of NextGen TV products expected to increase by 45% in 2024.

The ATSC says that more than 100 NextGen TV-capable products will be available to consumers in 2024.

There are now approximately 75 models available at retail, at a starting price point between $600 and $700, from Sony, Samsung, Hisense and LG. For more information, visit watchnextgentv.com
