As of February 18, 2009, WVCY-TV, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has ended its analog signal. WVCY-TV continues to provide digital television service on the new Digital Channel 30-1.

All full-power television stations will cease analog broadcasting by the new deadline June 12, 2009 for the DTV transition.

If you still rely on an analog TV with rabbit ears or a rooftop antenna, you can no longer receive WVCY-TV, and after June 12, 2009, all the other full-power television stations will have disappeared from your set. In order to continue to receive our station and any other television station after that date, you must take one of three actions:

            1. Purchase and install digital-to-analog converter box, and, if
                necessary, an antenna designed to receive digital
                broadcasts.

            2. Subscribe to a cable or satellite service, or

            3. Purchase a TV with a digital tuner.

If your TV sets are now connected to a pay service, and you no longer receive WVCY-TV, check with your provider to see how they are supporting your analog set after statons cease full-power analog broadcasting.

Here is a link to some suggestions from our chief engineer about improving your reception of the new, digital WVCY-TV 30-1.
