CHARLESTON – West Virginia Public Broadcasting is hosting an evening celebrating both old-time and country music in Charleston.

Our engineers are working diligently to update the entire WVPB television system to the new ATSC3.0 broadcast format. To complete this work safely, we will turn off the Parkersburg transmitter for over-the-air transmission beginning August 1.

The outage could last up to three weeks.

Beginning today, West Virginia Public Broadcasting's television station in Morgantown, WNPB-TV, will terminate broadcasts on Channel 33 and begin operating on Channel 34. The change should result in a stronger signal for our viewers.

If you use an antenna to watch our station, you will need to rescan your television to Channel 34 to keep watching our broadcast. The graphic here walks you through the simple process. Rescanning requires no new equipment, devices or services.

Where do we learn how to have a democratic dialog these days? Perhaps Parkersburg?
