NEXTGEN TV Expands to 11 Phoenix Stations, Delivering the New Generation of Digital TV Broadcast Technology

As the first market in the U.S. to experience NEXTGEN TV when it launched in 2018, audiences in the Phoenix area can now enjoy an expanded roster of 11 local stations delivering the next generation of digital television broadcast technology.
