Consumer Reports is running an article titled Free Over-the-Air TV Is Going to Get Better. They're rolling out a new standard, ATSC 3.0.
According to the article, you'll be able to watch OTA (over the air) TV on your phone or tablet! I wrote an article a few years back wondering why you couldn't already.
It's a fairly long and very informative article, but very much worth a read. It only talks about American broadcasts, no word about when or if it will reach other countries, but my guess is it won't be long.

That remains to be seen as more and more of those local stations are owned by a smaller and smaller number of companies, I'd be very surprised if they used this in a way that would actually benefit people rather than padding their bottom line at our expense. Especially with all the idiots out there that don't understand that there's no meaningful difference between current HDTV and 4k as far as home viewing goes.
