We used to watch your station all the time on attenna ,we bought two converter boxes still can't get it. I guess the people in northern wi don't count. Is ever going to get better for us.
If you are having problems receiving the signal, there are a few things to try. First, if you live in Oneida, Vilas or Forest Counties, try re-scanning your converter box to find our repeater station, W57AR, which is now on Digital Channel 42. Second, try positioning your antenna to point towards either that tower, or Rib Mountain. Lastly, call our engineering office for further help; 715-845-4211.

Is there any update on the new transmitter for Sayner? Do you have a better idea of when it will be available? It is very frustrating. I often loose the channel 7.1 signal between 8:30 am and 10:00 pm. The signal seemes to have been worse during this past week.

I used to be able to get 7 before the swithch and now I can't it is frustrating. I have tried different indoor antennas and still can not get it. I'm 84 and my daugther has had to come over serveral times trying the different antenna's we still haven't found the right one and I can't afford an outside one so guess I won't be watching the shows I enjoy.
