ORLANDO, Fla.—Eight TV stations in Orlando Florida have launched NextGen TV broadcasts, expanding the number of viewers who can get ATSC 3.0 signals in central Florida.

Along with Little Rock Arkansas, it was the second market to introduce NextGen TV services on July 1 before the long holiday weekend.
