A Syracuse television station has made a big change.<\/p>\n
CNY Central\u2019s WTVH CBS 5 changed its call letters on Monday, Dec. 1, becoming WKOF CBS 5. The TV station remains a CBS affiliate, continue to broadcast the network\u2019s sports and entertainment programming, along with local CBS 5 News.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor most viewers, it\u2019s business as usual, with this simply being a legal call letter change from WTVH CBS 5 to WKOF CBS5,\u201d CNY Central said<\/a>. \u201cIt will be seamless for viewers who receive our programming via cable or satellite, as well as YouTube TV<\/a>, Hulu + Live TV<\/a>, Sling<\/a>, and DirecTV<\/a> Stream.\u201d<\/p>\n However, Syracuse-area viewers who watch over-the-air with an antenna may need to re-scan their channels to continue watching CBS. WTVH was previously available on Channel 5.1, which began airing Roar programming on Monday; local CBS programming has moved to digital channel 15.1.<\/p>\n CNY Central shared instructions for viewers to re-scan their over-the-air channels for the following television sets:<\/p>\n CNY Central, which includes Syracuse TV stations NBC 3 (WSTM), CW 6 (WSTQ) and CBS 5, is operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group<\/a>. Sinclair did not say why its local CBS affiliate was changing its call letters.<\/p>\n WTVH was Syracuse\u2019s first television station when it began broadcasting as WHEN-TV on Dec. 1, 1948. <\/p>\n Roar, owned by Sinclair, first launched in 2016 as TBD. The network airs a variety of TV shows like \u201cAmerica\u2019s Funniest Home Videos\u201d and \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d re-runs.<\/p>\n Fans can continue watching CBS via streaming services like Fubo TV<\/a>, DirecTV<\/a> and Hulu + Live TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Syracuse television station has made a big change.
