Get ready for a big change in your TV viewing experience! Fox 39 is about to take center stage on a new channel, and it's a move that will impact many viewers.
Our sister station, Fox 39, is making a bold move to expand its reach and connect with even more audiences. But here's where it gets interesting: they're changing the channel number!
Fox 39's broadcast signal is shifting from Channel 39.1 to Channel 5.3, as announced by WCYB's Chief Engineer, Doug Chaulk. This means that while WCYB will remain on 5.1, Fox 39 will now be a WCYB subchannel.
Now, here's the crucial part: if you're an over-the-air viewer, you'll need to take action. According to Chaulk, "The Dish and DIRECTV people and cable subscribers won't see a change. It's just the over-the-air viewers who will need to re-scan their TVs."
To make this process easier, we recommend doing a quick online search to find out how to re-scan the channels for your specific TV make and model. It's a simple step, but it's essential to ensure you don't miss out on your favorite Fox shows!
The reason behind this change is exciting. Chaulk explains, "The antenna that Channel 5 broadcasts on can reach a much larger over-the-air population."
To help you adjust to the new channel, Fox 39 will simulcast on both 39.1 and 5.3 until mid-January, when the full transition to Channel 5.3 will take place.
So, are you ready for this exciting change? It's a great opportunity to ensure you don't miss a beat of your favorite Fox programming. And this is the part most people miss: it's not just about the channel number; it's about ensuring you can continue enjoying the content you love.
