If you are a Comcast Xfinity subscriber and unable to access our station on Comcast, you can still stay connected to our programming.  

What's happening?

For months, WTVR’s parent company, Scripps, has worked diligently to reach an agreement with Comcast that is fair for both sides and viewers.

TV station owners and cable and satellite companies are required by Congress to negotiate distribution contracts. When customers pay Comcast a monthly fee for programming, Comcast pays each channel on its system a fee to include that channel in its service. That is the negotiation that is currently happening. Scripps uses these dollars to invest in local sports, news and weather coverage at each station.

Fortunately, you can stay connected to CBS 6 programming through several other ways:

Free Options: 

  • By antenna: Our signal is always free and available over-the-air. An antenna provides a reliable, high-definition viewing experience. Visit www.thefreeTVproject.org or Tablo TV to find the best antenna for your location.  
  • On our streaming apps: You can watch our live newscasts and other content by searching for our station on Roku, Amazon Fire TV and other connected TV platforms.  

Other Services:

  • YouTube TV  
  • DirecTV  
  • Other streaming platforms, as well as cable and satellite services in our area.  

How to Rescan Your TV for Our Free Over-the-Air Signal 

  • If you are using an antenna, you may need to rescan your TV to find our channel. It’s a simple process that is usually found in your TV’s menu.  
  1. Click the “Menu” button on your remote control.  
  2. In the menu, choose “Channel Setup” or a similar option   
  3. Select “Antenna” or “Tuner.”  
  4. Start a “New Scan” or “Auto Scan.” Your TV will automatically find all available channels. 
  5. If you run into issues, please refer to the product manual that came with your TV.
