"Local" news suddenly switched from Boston stations to Springfield channels

Jump to solution

Happened on all four of our Roku devices.  I checked settings and made sure our zip code declaration had not changed.  Not complaining just wondering if this happened to others.

  You are absolutely right.  I haven't dealt with the "setup" of the app for several years and forgot about it.  YouTubeTV still shows my original zipcode and I could probably get it changed or at least the home stations corrected there, but I'm gonna leave it like it is.  Thanks for the refresher!

Hi @tallpall,

We get that you're having trouble with local news on the Roku devices.

We'd like to know the models of the Roku devices and if you’re using an antenna or cable box.

Keep us posted.

Roku boxes Model 3930x.  I should have mentioned we get our local channels thru the YouTubeTV app so station switching happened within that app.

  Our internet is supplied by xfinity thru my cable modem, just raw internet.   Posted this situation on my community FB group and a couple of people replied they are having the same issue,  I'm fine with getting other town channels.....just curious about why and how it happened.

It's probably a better question for YouTubeTV.
