If you watch Local 10 with an over-the-air antenna, you will lose our signal on July 28 at 10 a.m.
But don’t worry, it’s an easy fix to get us back. All you need to do is re-scan your television after 10 a.m. on July 28 to continue enjoying Local 10 newscasts and great shows like “Wheel of Fortune” and “Jeopardy!”
If you watch Local 10 on cable, satellite or streaming service, you don’t have to do anything, and your signal will not be interrupted.
How to re-scan your TV:
If you rely on an antenna to watch free, over-the-air television, you must rescan your TV set to continue to receive WPLG-TV.
Rescanning is when your TV finds all of the available channels in your area. You do not need to purchase new equipment or services to rescan. If you are a cable or satellite subscriber, a rescan is not required.
How to Rescan Your Antenna TV:
1. Select Scan or Autotune from your TV or converter box control menu to start the scanning process.
2. Your TV will do the rest. This process usually takes a few minutes to complete.
Once your rescan is complete you will still find WPLG-TV on the same channel number as before. If you have rescanning difficulties, you can usually find instructions by selecting the “Set-Up” or “Menu” button on your television or converter box remote control. You can also consult the TV or converter box owner’s manual for detailed instructions on how to run a channel scan, or contact customer service for your TV or converter box manufacturer.
