Vermont Public Broadcasting Possibly Bringing Two New Channels To Vermont With Some Coverage In New Hampshire

Posting this here because almost all upper valley residents can pick up PBS Vermont with a TV Antenna in VT and NH.

PBS Vermont is considering adding two new sub channels to there over the air broadcast that will cover the whole entire state of Vermont, Canada up into Montreal, Western NH, and Eastern NY. These channels are more obscure channels that are not found everywhere around the country but showcase high quality content with world news as well.

NHK World Japan- https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/live\_tv/

France 24 English- https://www.france24.com/en/

NHK World Japan shows news all throughout the day and night and in between the news shows high quality specialty programming focused on news, Japanese culture, business, and lifestyle.

France 24 English broadcasts 24/7 international news coverage, current affairs, and cultural magazines.

Both of these channels if added would be broadcast on a .5 and .6 sub channel on your local Vermont PBS station you receive with a TV Antenna.

If you would like to see these channels broadcast from your local Vermont PBS tower please email hello@vermontpublic.org and let them know you would like to see these channels broadcast as a new sub channel. The more support these channels have the more likely they will make their consideration reality.

Vermont PBS covers a majority of Vermont with at least a fair signal and even more places with a poor signal that requires a roof top antenna.

If you would like to know if your location can get PBS Vermont or other channels with a TV antenna please enter your address on this website with the height of the antenna you will be installing and set the search radius to 110 miles. Anything labeled as Good and Fair should be receive able with an indoor Amplified TV Antenna. Anything labeled as Poor will require a roof top antenna with an amplifier. Anything labeled as bad probably won’t come in unless it sits directly below a poor signal by no more than 5 points. https://www.rabbitears.info/searchmap.php
