Nebraska Public Media is modernizing KUON-TV's broadcast signal to enhance antenna reception, with temporary service changes affecting some over-the-air viewers during the upgrade.
In July, we began upgrading our broadcast signal for KUON-TV to provide a stronger, more reliable, over-the-air experience for Lincoln and surrounding communities.
To make these upgrades, crews are replacing the station’s current antenna with a new modern version. Favorable weather conditions have allowed the crew to accelerate work on the project.
We have dismantled the old antenna and KUON-TV is currently on the air with our new broadcast signal using temporary equipment at a lower power.
Viewers in this area will likely need to rescan their television sets in order to receive the new signal. Some viewers may not be able to receive the stronger KUON-TV signal until the project is complete and the upgraded signal returns to full power operation.
The signal upgrade is expected to improve reception for viewers who watch using an indoor antenna, particularly those who live in low-lying or dense urban areas. This change is only for those who watch over-the-air with an antenna. It does not affect viewers who watch via cable, satellite or streaming services.
Following the rescan, KUON-TV's channels will display as follows:
- 12.1 - PBS
- 12.2 - WORLD
- 12.3 - Create
- 12.4 - PBS KIDS
- 12.5 - FNX
