Report: Where Does the Signal Go Next?

October 22, 2026

Three messages ran through all of it. The first is that the FCC’s order to auction 160 MHz of the 200 MHz upper C-band leaves only 40 MHz for incumbent users, so US broadcasters have to find something “substantially similar” to a service they regard as the gold standard. The second is that nobody on stage expected a single technology to do that: Ken Fuller put it as “probably a mixture… a hybrid solution”, and Matthew Goldman reminded the room that whatever is built, “we have to stay on the air”. The third is that the transition is as much an opportunity as a replacement, with Richard Lindsay-Davies asking what the industry would build “if we had one Earthshot to reinvent TV”.
