KTKA 49 ABC and 24/7 Weather are changing digital channel positions on June 12. Some viewers may not be able to watch these channels during the day of June 12th.
If you use a digital converter box to watch KTKA, you'll need to do a simple channel rescan after 5:30pm June 12th to continue receiving our programming.
If you are a cable or satellite customer, you will automatically begin receiving KTKA at its new channel location and you don't need to rescan.
If you use a converter box, you will need to scan for new channels on June 12 after 5:30pm to receive KTKA at its new channel locations.
After June 12, KTKA's programming will be:
49.1 KTKA 49 ABC News
49.2 KTKA 24/7 Weather Now
49.3 KTKA the CW Northeast Kansas
Scanning Instructions
If you receive KTKA through a digital converter box or relay on a digital tuner in your tv set, you will need to scan for new channels after 5:30pm on June 12 to get KTKA, KTKA Weather and KTKA-CW at their new channel locations.
First, locate the Scan button on either your remote control or digital converter box. If you don't have a Scan button, press Menu on your remote of digital converter box and locate the Scan function.
Next, press the Scan button to scan for new channels. This may take a few minutes or up to 10 minutes or more depending on the type of box you have
Last, to see if the scan was successful, press the Channel Up button until you get to 49.1. Press Channel up again and you will see 49.2 and then 49.3CW.
If the box freezes, unplug the box at the wall or remove the power connector from the back of the box.
Wait 10 seconds, then re-plug and repeat the Channel Scan process.

I agree. Digital TV SUCKS big time. I always received your signal when it was analog. Since the 12th I have rescanned countless times. I adjusted the digital antenna countless times and you have simply disappeared. What gives? Today is Sunday the 14th.

I heard some poster on another forum state... that digital broadcasts are currently only at 4% strength level as normal analog tv was. If this is true... It outrageous.
I think we have something to worry about.
The news networks are irresponsibly not taking random surveys or even reporting about the success of failure of this historic event.
Bad Bad Bad.
I sense a lame duck here.
