Title: WKBN-TV CHANGE IN FREQUENCY
Post by: JoyceFarrell on March 26, 2018, 06:14:45 PM
WKBN is changing frequencies
What is happening?Our station is moving to a new frequency, as directed by the Federal Communications Commission, the government agency that regulates the public airwaves.If you watch television for free with an antenna, you will need to take action when WKBN begins broadcasting on its new frequency on April 23, 2018 at 12:35 PM.This does not affect cable or satellite TV subscribers or people who watch TV over the internet.
What do I do?If you use an antenna to receive local channels for free, simply rescan your TV on April 23 after 12:35 PM. To rescan, select "scan" or "autotune" from your TV or converter box control menu to start the process. You can usually find instructions by pressing the "set-up" or "menu" buttons on your remote control.No new equipment or services are needed, and once your rescan is complete, you will still find us on channel 27.1.
Need further help?Visit www.tvanswers.org (http://tvanswers.org/) for more details on how to rescan your TV and to get more information on which stations in our area are moving frequencies and when.
