How To Watch: Over The Air
Watch WRAL and FOX 50 without ANY subscription fees with an over-the-air (OTA) antenna. Enjoy the most watched local news, your favorite shows, and LIVE sports – all for FREE!
1. Choose your antenna: Indoor antennas are small, lightweight, and can be placed almost anywhere - even behind your TV! These compact antennas are ideal for homes, apartments and small spaces.
2. Choose your antenna: Outdoor antennas are a good choice in rural areas or places with weaker signals. They can provide the boost you need for crystal-clear reception.
3. Connect & Position: Plug the antenna into your TV and place it where you want. You may need to adjust the position later to improve your reception.
4. Channel Scan: Use your TV remote to access the menu and select "Channel Setup" or "Channel Scan." Your TV will find available channels and save them for easy access.
5. Enjoy Free TV: Watch dozens of free channels, including WRAL, WRAL News Plus, and FOX 50. Remember to rescan periodically to discover new channels or improve reception.
