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 and WYFX begins broadcasting on its new frequency on Friday, August 2nd, 2019 at 2:00 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 after 2:00 PM, August 2nd, 2019. 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 WKBN on channel 27.1 but WYFX FOX Youngstown will be on 27.2 and 62.1.
27.1 – WKBN / CBS in HD
27.2 – WYFX / FOX in HD
33.1 – WYTV / ABC in HD
33.2 – MyYTV / MyNet in SD
62.1 – WYFX / FOX in HD
62.2 – MyYTV / MyNet in HD
62.3 – ION in SD
62.4 – Bounce in SD
62.5 – LAFF in SD
62.6 – Get TV in SD
