Congratulations to Our Pearl TV and Howard University Friends for a Successful NEXTGEN TV Launch
Washington DC becomes the latest city to offer a look at the next-generation of over-the-air TV with today's NEXTGEN TV service launch by Pearl TV and Howard University. PBS member station WHUT-TV serves as the host station from the inner-city campus, offering a prime central location to transmit NEXTGEN TV signals for five local TV stations to the greater metropolitan area.
GatesAir is proud to be the exclusive transmitter supplier for the collaborative lighthouse initiative in the nation's capital. The fully-commissioned Maxiva ULXTE-50 liquid-cooled UHF transmitter carries HD programming and standard-definition sub-channels, and will add multimedia services supported through the ATSC 3.0 standard including emergency alerts, interactive services, and broadband internet access.
