Can’t Watch WKRG Channel 5?

January 14, 2010

If you are not able to watch WKRG Channel 5, you are not alone. Most residents of the North Escambia area that watch WKRG over the air are not able to see the CBS affiliate, and it will be missing through the weekend.

WKRG is completing a tower upgrade, moving their antenna to a 2,000 foot tower for a stronger signal. But during the antenna move, the station is being forced to broadcast on lower power, making it hard to watch in the area over the air. WKRG expects to complete the project and return to full power by Monday, according to a statement.

“We understand how frustrating it can be to miss your favorite CBS programming. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience,” the station said on its website.

WKRG viewers that watch the station on cable or satellite will be able view the station with no interruption.

    Thank goodness I have Direct TV, but maybe they will get this fixed quickly for those that only have antenna’s; so they can watch their programs…

    My neighborhood is in a very low-lying spot, so reception with an antenna is horrible. We’re rarely, if ever, able to get WKRG. I wonder if this upgrade will allow us to finally get this channel?

    I hope they get it fixed before the next NCIS. Does anyone know if NCIS is on the internet somewhere I can watch it?
