The Association for Maximum Service Television, Inc., is the recognized industry leader in broadcasting technology and spectrum policy issues. Formed in 1956, MSTV has endeavored to ensure that the American public receive the highest quality, interference free, over-the-air local television signals. For the past decade we have been the leading advocate for advanced over-the-air digital television in the United States.
Every day our voice is heard at the Federal Communications Commission, on Capitol Hill, and before a number of Executive Branch and independent agencies with jurisdiction over broadcasting and spectrum policy. MSTV is the leader in field-testing a variety of new improvements to the digital broadcast transmission system. We work closely with the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC), the standards setting organization for advanced digital television. We serve as a liaison between the broadcast industry and the consumer electronics, professional video and other technology industries.
