UPDATE 6/15 1:20 p.m.: Possible solution — a “double rescan”
Following up on previous discussions regarding reception & signal problems with high VHF channels, the FCC is trying to determine if there is a pattern nationwide. They have identified one potential solution that has been successful in solving the majority of problems for some stations — a “double rescan” the converter boxes. Here are the steps:
If you have already connected your converter box or have a television with a digital tuner and are unable to view WLIW21, please re-scan your box or television using the MENU button (look for a feature that says “Scan” or “Auto scan”) or SCAN button on your remote or by consulting the instructions. This is the same scanning process you conducted when you first installed your box or television. If you still have a problem after re-scanning channels, look for an UPDATE function and select that. Each converter box and television is different, so you may need to review the instruction manual.
Also, make sure you are using an antenna that covers both the VHF and UHF bands and have connected it properly. You may also need to adjust the position of your antenna to receive our signal.
If you do not yet have a converter box, you will need to purchase one to view WLIW21 on your analog television. Alternatively, you can subscribe to cable or satellite service or purchase a television with a digital tuner.
For more detailed information and instructions, please visit www.dtv.gov or call 1-888-225-5322.
Thank you for your interest in WLIW21.
In honor of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade and President Obama’s recent nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor for appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court, WLIW21 will broadcast The Puerto Ricans: Our American Story this Sunday, June 14 at 6:30 p.m. This special 10th anniversary broadcast of WLIW21’s original production will feature footage from WLIW21’s Visions of Puerto Rico and Sotomayor’s nomination speech.
Originally produced by WLIW21 in 1999, The Puerto Ricans: Our American Story was the first program of its kind, embodying the honor and passion of a rich heritage. The film explores lives lived in two worlds – a bicultural existence that as many in the program describe it, can be equally enriching and unsettling. Entertainer Rita Moreno, late musician Tito Puente, actors Jimmy Smits and Miriam Colón, singers Justino Díaz and Ednita Nazario, author Esmeralda Santiago, tennis player Gigi Fernández, former Governor Pedro J. Rosselló (NPP – Puerto Rico) and many others share their personal stories in a dynamic celebration of Puerto Rican life in America. Watch now.

In his new special, Dr. Dyer teaches how to overcome lifetime thinking habits that can keep you from maximizing your potential. “I can’t change” is no longer an excuse, neither is “It’s my DNA.” As Dr. Dyer explains, “This is a program about choosing, not excusing,” and there is a wealth of research that reveals a human being’s ability to change these habits.
What’s your excuse for not living the life of your dreams?
Email AskDrDyer@wliw.org your #1 excuse in 100 words or less by June 11, then tune in to WLIW21 on Saturday, June 13 at 3 p.m. to hear Dr. Dyer counter the biggest viewer excuse live!
These are identified as the key excuses that people have used throughout their lives in order to NOT do something, or live a certain way, or change a behavior, or follow a dream. In Excuses Begone!, Dr. Dyer reviews some of these excuses, and provides literary, poetic, philosophical and psychological explanations for why these excuses do not have to be the roadblocks we think they are.
