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.

In their Global Digital Living Forecast Workbook from March 2014, Parks Associates estimates that the number of “Smart TV” households in the U.S. will reach 42 million this year, representing 36% of all TV households. 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.

From the press release, "Local TV Stations to Broadcast Enhanced Content and Advertising in Unique Interactive TV Trial."
