An idea that just popped into my head is that maybe phones will start including ATSC 3.0 tuners at some point, so the Internet connection is right there, ubiquitous, and everything can be integrated with an app. NBC, CBS, ABC, etc. could offer an app that "streams" in a local TV channel using ATSC instead of cell or wifi.

You'll want to get a Yagi antenna case for the best results though.

When phones bring back the headphone jack, you’ll know the reason why. “External antenna”

For a while phones had FM tuners. I even owned one for a period of time.

They never really caught on.

In Japan they just finally started dropping TV tuners (local ISDB standard) from their Android phones in the past 2-3 years, before that it was pretty common.
