Some TV station owners, including Milwaukee PBS, sold broadcast spectrum back to the federal government so it could be reallocated for wireless use, requiring the signal reshuffling. The signal adjustments are the result of the Federal Communications Commission’s move two years ago to make additional airwaves available for wireless internet services. The signals getting adjusted are for WTMJ-TV (Channel 4), WITI-TV (Channel 6), WISN-TV (Channel 12), WVTV-TV (Channel 18), WVCY-TV (Channnel 30), WBME-TV (Channel 49 and 58.2), WPXE-TV (Channel 55) and WDJT-TV (Channel 58), along with their digital subchannels on 4.2, 4.3, 6.2, 12.2, etc. - more than 20 channels in all. Rescanning isn't that complicated a process Milwaukee TV viewers had to do it often when TV made the transition to digital in 2009, and you have to do it whenever you're setting up a new antenna-based TV.īut it's never happened to so many stations at the same time. The TV should then search for all available signals, and lock them in the regular spots on the dial where you're used to finding them. Then select "scan," "autotune," "autoprogram" or "channel search." Click again. In the listing that pops up on your TV screen, look for "settings" or "setup."ģ. Remember that every make and model is different, so the wording on your equipment may vary. 18, frequencies of most of the Milwaukee area's TV stations will be adjusted slightly, to make room for the increasing volume of wireless broadband services.įor viewers who get their access to local TV stations via cable, satellite or mobile apps, the changes will be transparent.įor viewers who get their TV with an antenna - in Milwaukee, that's nearly three in 10 households - the stations will disappear.īut there's an easy way to get them all back: rescanning.

18 Rescan Day, but they're not exactly celebrating.

What's changed the most in your time in Milwaukee and your time in Milwaukee media? : You've been at Channel 4 now for 15 years. Susan Kim: The whole city, especially Downtown.

I remember when I first came to Milwaukee for my job interview. I thought it came off as kind of a working class town. I remember the roads - does anybody fix the roads around here (laughter), because the freeway was all bumpy.īut, honestly, Milwaukee was really pretty. On my interview tour they took me around and they showed me the lake, and some things Downtown. I just thought "what a pretty city." I feel like it's changed a lot since then - just in terms of what there is to do, the development, the kind of people who live here. It's really a lot more cosmopolitan than a lot of people think it is.

Right out of college I went to Juneau, Alaska, for three months.
