John, No firm date on shutting down ATSC 1 yet. We expect to keep it through at least 2025 on the major networks. Even when stations switch from using lighthouse ATSC 3 stations to broadcasting their own, we expect there will be a few ATSC 1 “Sundown Stations” that will still rebroadcast the major networks for a few years in ATSC 1.
