Disney is working with National Datacast, a subsidiary of PBS, to procure digital ATSC data bits from PBS Member stations. And of course ABC also has leverage with it's network affiliates and O&Os to continue MovieBeam on ATSC. MovieBeam has a plan to stay in business post-NTSC. We shall see if it ever makes economic sense to do so.

Sounds very strange, isn't?

Moviebeam operates in dNTSC and "the big switch" knocks the doors...
