Happy New Year! With this month’s installment of THE STANDARD, we welcome 2020 and celebrate the Year of the Rat. The Rat is the first animal in the cycle of 12 and is thus seen as representing the beginning of a new day.

January 2020 saw the official U.S. commercial launch of NEXTGEN TV powered by ATSC 3.0 at CES.
