On the eve of the National Association of Broadcasters Show, broadcasting and technology leaders today announced a groundbreaking new interactive TV trial to demonstrate the capability to easily view enhanced content and advertising delivered to LG Smart TVs in Atlanta, Cleveland and Orlando markets during live news broadcasts.

Approximately one-third of those sets will be automatic content recognition (ACR) capable. By 2018, a majority, 56%, of Smart TV sets will be ACR-enabled.
