UPDATE: If you are experiencing problems receiving WPT’s signal, WPT engineers recommend that you rescan the channels on your digital TV tuner. If that doesn’t fix the issue, please contact WPT’s Audience Services staff at [email protected] or 800-422-9707.
Are you experiencing over-the-air (antenna) WPT reception problems in the Madison area?
We are aware that some viewers who receive their television signals over-the-air using an antenna are not able to view any of our channels at this time. Cable and satellite viewers are not affected by this transmission issue.
We are working to resolve this issue and apologize for any frustration or inconvenience.
We hope to resolve this as quickly as possible and we apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.
We will update this space as work continues by our engineers, including when a resolution has been reached and the issue has been fixed.

I could not get PBS from 2 p.m. yesterday afternoon. I missed the recap of Downton Abbey at 8. It was very upsetting. What was the problem?
Hi Pat- Our apologies for the technical frustration. Have you been able to rescan your channels and start receiving our service again? So you know, we will be re-airing Downton Abbey Rediscovered a few more times in the next couple weeks, starting with an 8:30 p.m. broadcast this Saturday. You can find a full list of airtimes at this link: http://wptschedule.org/episodes/45404120/Downton-Abbey-Rediscovered/ Thanks for watching!
After 2 days without WPT I decided to rescan the channels, and it worked! Thank you so much for the post about the problem. In our house we love you guys and the wonderful work you do.
Thanks for the kind words, Rebecca. And thanks for watching!
