ABC 6 Working To Resolve Reception Problems
KAAL TV, the ABC affiliate serving areas including Austin, Albert Lea and Rochester, Minnesota and Mason City, Iowa began airing exclusively on Channel 36, near Grand Meadow on October 9th as part of the nationwide transition to Digital TV. Since the switch, ABC 6 has heard from many viewers in the western part of our viewing area, Freeborn and Mower counties and portions of Iowa, who are experiencing difficulty receiving our signal. The majority of reception problems affect people using rabbit ears and antennas. ABC 6 Engineers are answering questions and trying to fix problems as quickly as possible. Every viewer call or e-mail is getting a personal response.
