If you do not see all 4 channels, run the “scan” function on your converter box or digital TV set, usually on the remote control, labeled “set-up” or “menu” or some similar term.
Cable/Satellite: Detroit Public TV is offering all four channels (WTVS, Kids, Create & WORLD) to cable and satellite providers.
