How do I request a satellite waiver?
All waiver requests must now go through your satellite provider. Simply contact them and they will handle your request with all the local stations. As of January 1 we will no longer process individual request. Your satellite provider can answer any additional questions you might have.
Why do program listings in TV Guide and the local papers sometimes differ from what airs?
Some of the services that create programming guides must go to press three to four weeks in advance to get them into viewers homes in time. CBS and WKMG make every effort to keep these listings correct. However, breaking news, weather, and network changes which are beyond our control, sometimes happen after these deadlines. For the latest program information, you can call the programming information line at (407) 521-1200, 24 hours a day.
Where do I find CBS or syndicated program information that I saw on Channel 6?
Most of the programs that air on WKMG and CBS have websites which list program information. We have provided easy access to these websites for you on our Programming Links page. If the information you are seeking is not listed in the website, or you do not have access to the internet, you can contact WKMG by calling (407)521-1200 and we will assist you in anyway that we can.
