Welcome to the NBC 15 DTV page!




WMTV Madison permanently ceased analog television service on February 16, 2009, a date prior to the nation's new June 12, 2009 DTV transition date. If you watch WMTV on an analog TV with rabbit ears or a rooftop antenna, you can continue to receive the station by using a digital-to-analog converter box, subscribing to cable or satellite service, or buying a TV with a digital tuner. Digital-to-analog converter boxes are available at many area consumer electronic stores. If you are using a converter box or a digital TV, orient your antenna towards the west side of Madison. For more information concerning the DTV transition, converter boxes, and how you can continue to receive the station, call us at 608-274-1515, or to write us at 615 Forward Drive, Madison WI 53711. You can also call the Wisconsin Public Television DTV Hotline at 1-800-422-9707, or the FCC DTV Hotline at 1-888-CALLFCC (1-888-225-5322).

* As of March 1, 2007, the FCC required all new TV sets and VCRs to include digital tuners. Many larger sets in stores already have digital tuners built in. If you need to buy a new TV set, make sure to check that it includes a digital tuner.
* Digital tuners will allow you to watch HDTV on an analog TV, so it isn't essential to replace your TV. However, you won't see the full high definition resolution. It's similar to watching a color broadcast on a black-and-white TV. You'll see the program but won't get its full benefit. To see true HDTV, you will need an HD monitor or HDTV set with integrated digital tuner.
