About this site

TVShutoff.com tracks the switch of U.S. broadcast television from ATSC 1.0 to ATSC 3.0 (“NextGen TV”) from the viewer’s side: which stations have switched, what each market’s proposed shutoff date is, and what a household with an antenna needs to do about it.

The 2009 digital transition came with a federal coupon program, a year of public-service announcements, and a converter-box industry. This transition, so far, comes with none of that — and the roughly one in five U.S. households that watch with an antenna have no one keeping score for them. This site is that scorekeeper.

Where the data comes from

• Station list, market assignments, and ATSC 3.0 host/guest filings: the FCC’s Licensing and Management System (LMS) public database. Last built 2026-10-28; refreshed as the FCC posts new filings.
• Market ranks and TV-household counts: FCC market table (Nielsen DMA figures).
• Proposed shutoff dates: the National Association of Broadcasters’ petition in FCC MB Docket No. 16-142 (February 2028 for the 55 largest markets, February 2030 elsewhere). These are proposals, not rules. The FCC’s current rule requires stations to keep an ATSC 1.0 simulcast through July 17, 2027.
