Anne Schelle, managing director, the Pearl Group; John Hane, president of Spectrum Co.; and Joe Chinnico, CEO of the Public Media Group will join moderator Kathy Haley, co-founder and publisher of TVNewsCheck, in a panel discussion grappling with the financial implications of ATSC 3.0 at 10:45 a.m. on Oct. 16 at the Javits Center.

“With so many broadcasters now behind the standard, we want to push the conversation on ATSC 3.0 further into a financial terrain,” said Haley. “Anne, John and Joe will explore how station groups are likely to estimate the costs of implementing the standard and forecast approximately when stations may begin to profit from it.”
