Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get and use antenna?
WUAB is transmitted on a high-VHF frequency. That means one of those square UHF antennas won’t pick the station up. An outdoor VHF antenna will work best, however, if you do not currently own or prefer not to mount a big antenna to your roof, we recommend using an indoor rabbit ears antenna.
These antennas are widely available for purchase via Amazon, Best Buy and other retailers. Installation and setup is simple and requires three steps:
- Push menu or input on your TV remote
- Go to Channel or TV setup
- Select scan or auto-scan or similar
NOTE: The indoor rabbit ears antenna should be placed in the highest window in your house that faces South and then rescan your TV.
Will the games still be on cable and satellite?
The five Cavaliers games will be available on WUAB on AT&T (Ch. 1043), COX (Ch. 1006), Spectrum (Ch. 1006) and other cable outlets throughout Northeast Ohio and select markets across the state of Ohio. WUAB can also be found on DirecTV and DISH (Ch. 43 on both).
If your cable provider is not shown above, please check your local guide for WUAB.

Games will be available on both YouTube TV and Hulu Live as long as your subscription includes the local channel for The CW.
