WSAW-TV Over-the-Air Broadcast Signal to Experience Overnight Outages for Maintenance
WSAW-TV's over-the-air broadcast signal in the Wausau-Rhinelander area will be temporarily unavailable overnight from approximately 11:30 p.m. to 4 a.m. each night between November 6 and November 12 due to scheduled maintenance on the Rib Mountain tower.
Wausau Rhinelander, WI, November 6, 2026 — WSAW-TV’s over-the-air broadcast signal will be temporarily unavailable in the Wausau-Rhinelander area during specific overnight hours. The interruptions are scheduled to occur each night between Monday, November 6, and Sunday, November 12.
The service disruption is attributed to essential scheduled maintenance work being conducted on the Rib Mountain tower. During this period, viewers who receive their television signal via an antenna will not be able to access WSAW-TV programming.
The outages are expected to begin each night around 11:30 p.m. and conclude by approximately 4 a.m. the following morning. This timeframe is intended to minimize impact on typical viewing schedules. The station has not provided further details regarding the specific nature of the maintenance being performed on the Rib Mountain tower.
For residents in the Wausau-Rhinelander region who rely on over-the-air broadcasts for WSAW-TV, alternative viewing methods may be available, such as through cable or satellite providers that carry the station. The availability of the over-the-air signal is anticipated to resume fully once the scheduled maintenance is completed on November 12.
