WSVN 7 The News Station and WPLG Local10 will change the way you receive our over the air signal on July 28th. If you watch us over the air with an antenna you will need to rescan your television.
What if I have cable, satellite, or streaming service?
Only viewers who watch television over the air with an antenna need to take action. If you use cable, satellite, or a live TV streaming service (such as YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or DirecTV Stream), no rescan is needed — your provider will handle the channel update.
Information provided by the FCC on how to rescan some tv models:
