Posted: Mon, Jul 22, 2019 10:45 AM

Iowa Public Television says crews are scheduled to replace the broadcast antennas serving the Decorah and Lansing viewing areas beginning Tuesday.

The replacement process will cause a temporary service outage for several hours on Tuesday and Wednesday while the existing antennas are removed and new equipment is installed. The outage is expected to begin around 9:00 a.m. each day, with service being restored by 7:00 p.m. IPTV's crew will work to limit the necessary outage as much as possible.

During the outages, PBS KIDS programming, usually found on IPTV's primary channel and IPTV KIDS.2, are available at www.Iptv.org/iptv-kids and through the PBS KIDS Video App on mobile devices and streaming services. Many of IPTV's local programs including Iowa Outdoors, Iowa Ingredient, Market to Market, Iowa Press and more are available to watch on demand at www.Iptv.org/watch. Additional shows and many popular PBS series including PBS NewsHour, American Experience and NOVA are available on demand through the PBS Video App.
