MADISON, Wis. — The FCC has allowed News 3 Now to boost the power of the station’s broadcast signal.
Viewers who watch News 3 using an antenna may need to activate the “scan” function on your TV menu to re-scan available channels in order to enjoy News 3 Now and CBS programming.
For instructions on how to re-scan your TVs, visit tvanswers.org/rescan.asp.
If you’re still experiencing problems after rescanning, you many need to install a UHF/VHF combined antenna to get News 3 Now over the air.
VHF/UHF antennas are available for purchase from retailers like Best Buy or local hardware stores. The FCC has a list of antennas available online.
Viewers with outdoor antennas at 30 feet can check the FCC’s DTV map to see if they should be able to receive a strong signal from News 3 Now. All viewers have to do is input their zip code to see the results. Click here to access the DTV map.
Viewers can also make a DIY antenna for a fraction of the cost. DIY instructions are widely available online.
