San Diego, CA – KUSI and FOX 5/KSWB, local television stations in San Diego, are rolling out an upgraded signal known as NEXTGEN TV or ATSC 3.0. This new technology promises an enhanced viewing experience for viewers with NEXTGEN TV receivers.
However, in order to continue receiving all channels within the viewing area, viewers who use an antenna to watch TV for free will need to rescan their televisions. Rescanning is a process in which the TV finds and locks onto all available channels in the area. It is important to note that no new equipment or services need to be purchased for this rescan; it is simply a necessary step to keep the channels accessible. Cable or satellite subscribers, on the other hand, are not required to perform a rescan.
For those with older televisions, the rescan process must be initiated on Saturday, Jan. 13 to ensure the continued reception of KUSI. However, if you have a newer television that is capable of tuning the NextGen signal, you will need to rescan starting Tuesday, Jan. 16.

To carry out the rescan, simply select the “Scan” or “Autotune” option from your TV or converter box control menu. Your television will guide you through the rest of the process, which typically takes a few minutes to complete. After the rescan is done, you will find KUSI on the same channel number as before.
In the event that you encounter difficulties during the rescan, most televisions or converter boxes offer instructions within their “Set-Up” or “Menu” options. Alternatively, you can consult the owner’s manual for detailed step-by-step guidance.
By staying informed about when and how to rescan your television, you can ensure that you continue to receive all the channels available in your area, providing uninterrupted access to your favorite shows and local news. So mark your calendar and make sure to perform the necessary rescan on the designated dates to avoid any interruption in your viewing experience.
