Residents Can Watch WKRG Again
January 19, 2010
Tower work that left many North Escambia residents unable to watch WKRG Channel 5 for about a week has been completed.
WKRG has completed a tower upgrade, moving their antenna to a 2,000 foot tower for a stronger signal.
“WKRG’s signal is now better and stronger than ever before,” according to a statement on the station’s web site.
During the antenna move, the station was forced to broadcast on lower power, making it almost impossible watch over the air in the North Escambia area. According to a statement from WKRG, it may be necessary to do a “rescan” if you use a digital converter box to watch WKRG.
The tower upgrade had no impact on WKRG viewers with DirecTV, Dish Network or cable television.

I think it is fox 10 I have not been able to get fox 10 on any of my recievers i use. I also know of a lot of people that do not get fox 10 as well
It’s nice to have it back again. I was afraid it would be like Fox 10. I use a convertor box on the TV in my kitchen and was (at one time) getting all the local channels. Then suddenly I lost Fox 10. I don’t know if it’s my outside antenna or if channel 10 did something to their signal, but I’m still not receiving it. Oh well, at least I’m able to get 3, 5, and 15!!
