TACOMA, Wash. Seattle public broadcaster KBTC Public Television has launched KBTC-VC, a new virtual ATSC 3.0 channel, broadcasting on virtual channel 28-11. The programming on KBTC-VC mirrors that of KBTC's main channel 28-1, while providing enhanced accessibility for those with NextGen TV-enabled televisions.
Virtual ATSC 3.0 channels provide electronic programming guide information over-the-air to NextGen Smart TVs using the host broadcaster's data channel capacity. NextGen TV viewers can select KBTC-VC in their programming guide and access the channel seamlessly over an internet-connected TV.
Viewers may need to rescan their TVs to access the new channel and begin watching KBTC-VC. To do this, viewers should look for a Channel Scan or Auto-Tune function in their settings menu.
