Free-to-air TV refers to television broadcasting that is transmitted without any subscription fees or encryption, allowing anyone with a standard antenna or receiver to access it for free. This model has democratized media consumption by providing public access to news, entertainment, and educational content, but it's increasingly competing with on-demand streaming services in the digital age. In many countries, it remains a vital tool for reaching underserved populations during emergencies.
