WMBC-TV is now broadcasting in digital television throughout
the greater NJ/NYC metropolitan area. That means our 24-hour
programming is available with full digital clarity through
state-of-the-art broadcasts that reach Long Island,
Connecticut, Upstate New York, Eastern Pennsylvania, and
Monmouth County, NJ. Viewers throughout the expanded
broadcast area can now enjoy our free over-the-air
programming with a simple antenna attached to your TV.
 Most
new digital televisions (HDTV) come ready to display free
over-the-air digital TV signals. But it's also easy to watch
digital TV on older analog TV sets. Simply connect the
television set to a Digital Converter Box (also known as a
"HD Set Tope Box") available at consumer electronics
stores.* Then, connect an antenna and allow the converter to
scan the airwaves and program itself automatically. You'll
find that WMBC-DT (digital) will appear on Channel 63. (If
you have an HDTV capable of receiving both over-the-air
analog and digital signals directly, WMBC-DT may appear on
Channel 18.)
If you subscribe to cable TV or satellite service, you
may also see our digital broadcast as part of the cable
lineup for TV stations in your area. Please check with your
cable or satellite TV provider for the availability of WMBC-DT.
And thank you for watching WMBC ... your voice
in the community.
