The FCC has released a video explaining rescanning of channels for TV stations who have changed frequencies. What it doesn't mention is that some stations have moved from UHF to VHF which may require the viewer who has a UHF-only antenna to replace it. youtube.com/watch?v=wVxI6L…

How to Rescan Your TV to Get Channels with Antenna
Literally all I do as a Chief Engineer: No. Yes, we're on the air. Did you open a door with that lens? Yes, you'll need to rescan your channels. No. We've used up all our spares. Press the AUDIO button on your remote for English. You want to go live from where? I'm coming....
Literally all I do as a News Director: No. No. Yes, I ordered pizza. No. That actually wasn’t our station. We did cover that story. No. No, that isn’t news. No. I’ll be right there.
"...29% of TV content viewers 18 years and older own an antenna, while one in four (24%) actively use an antenna to get TV content on at least one of their sets...."

Alternate pronunciation: "Michel Jacques-Yves Cousteau" for older viewers @jockosports
Leave it to me to completely butcher Mike Jacques name on air. I am sooooo sorry @jockosports. Crazy to think I've never heard anyone pronounce his last name. I know him as "Jocko" so when I saw his full name on the teleprompter, my brain malfunctioned.
