LeGeyt Defends Carr on ATSC 3.0

NAB CEO Curtis LeGeyt defended FCC Chairman Brendan Carr Friday after former Commissioner Nathan Simington criticized Carr for not streamlining agency policies around ATSC 3.0 (see 2506120088). “NAB has seen first-hand FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s leadership and ongoing commitment to the successful deployment of ATSC 3.0,” LeGeyt said in an emailed statement. “Chairman Carr has also made clear that he understands what’s at stake: ensuring every viewer has access to free, local broadcast television that meets the evolving needs of the modern media landscape.”
