Yes, they did, and yet they (Sony, CBS et al) also insisted, and prevailed,
that interlace be the foundation of the standard.
Which Craig, who was also there in the early days, can confirm.

I do think that you, having been involved in such a process, know better.

And they (ATSC) fully support 60 Hz and progressive modes.
If broadcasters/networks want to eliminate interlaced and 59.94 fps, by far
the easiest approach, *as far as standards are concerned*, is to strike them
out of ATSC, and leave the rest as is! You can do this with the mere stroke
of a pen.
Changing out the actual hardware, to eliminate 59.94 and progressive,
becomes far easier to do this way, than by rewriting a whole new standard.
Because the transitional period is a snap. As opposed to being a mess.
