UPDATE: We’re experiencing mechanical issues at the transmitter and we’re making the needed repairs, but replacing some parts may take some time.
Please note that the WHBF/CBS signal is available on our sister station at 26.4. We thank you for your patience.
If you need to rescan your TV to find 26.4, here are some tips:
Channel Scans – It is also important to note that digital tuners of all kinds do have a tendency to “drop” channels from time to time. For that reason, regular channel scans are always a good idea. Something else you might try is what we call a system re-boot in which you a) disconnect your antenna cable from your television/converter box; b) Scan for channels with no antenna attached (this should effectively re-set your TV/converter box to ‘factory settings’; c) Unplug the television/converter box from the power source for five minutes (this will re-boot its systems); d) Plug the device back in, reconnect the antenna and re-scan for channels.

EARLIER UPDATE: Work continues to repair our tower as soon as possible and restore our signal.
Viewers are encouraged to use 26.4 over the air to find Local 4 WHBF programming that is normally seen on 4.1.
