In every corner of our country, people rely on local TV stations for news, weather, entertainment and a lifeline during times of crisis. All you need is an antenna to get free TV!
If you are one of these 77 million Americans who watch antenna TV for free, changes are coming, and we want to be sure you’re prepared.
Welcome to the TVAnswers blog, where we’ll tell you what you need to know about your local stations moving to new frequencies and how to keep the free TV you love.
Here’s your cheat sheet:
- Local TV stations nationwide are changing frequencies – or the airwaves they use – to make room for wireless services.
- If you watch antenna TV for free, you will need to rescan your TV or converter box when your local stations change frequencies to keep watching your favorite channels.
- Because stations are required to move at different times, you may need to do this more than once.
Explore TVAnswers.org to learn more, follow us on Facebook and Twitter and definitely stay tuned to your local TV stations to find out which stations are moving and when. Then make a plan to rescan!
