In 2017, the FCC announced a new broadcast standard for free TV that essentially expands the digital bandwidth of each channel. Over the next five years, each over-the-air station could broadcast as many as 25 individual digital sub-channels. (An imaginary Channel 2, for example, could have different programming on channels 2.1, 2.2 and so on.) If there are now 12 free channels available in a given market, multiply that by 25 and you’d have some 300 channels.
“Listen, obviously some of these channels are going to suck,” Ehrlich said. “But the point is that what’s available over the air could be extraordinary.”
