Washington, DC, August 4, 2011 -- Mobile Digital Television is on track to reach two-thirds of U.S. households by early 2012, as dozens of TV broadcast stations are now installing new transmission equipment that will allow live, local TV signals to reach viewers wherever they go in a local market. Based on a new survey of member plans, the Open Mobile Video Coalition of America's (OMVC) broadcasters announced that 96 stations are now on-the-air with Mobile DTV and that the total number of Mobile DTV stations is expected to grow to 126 in 48 markets by the end of the year.
