How to watch the Super Bowl on Channel 2, WBBM-TV in Chicago

The future of television is now at CBS 2 News Chicago

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Chiefs take on the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday in Las Vegas, and you can watch the big game on CBS 2.

If you rely on an antenna to watch our broadcast, you must rescan your TV before the Super Bowl to make sure you're getting our new improved signal.

As a function of our launch of NEXGEN TV bringing Chicago the future of television, if you use an antenna to watch free, over-the-air television, you must rescan your TV to continue getting CBS 2 Chicago.

How to Rescan 

Rescanning is when your TV finds all the available broadcast signals where you live. You don't need to buy any new equipment or services to rescan; and if you get your TV through cable, satellite, or a streaming service, you don't need to rescan at all.

How to Rescan Your Antenna TV 

  1. Select Scan or Autotune from your TV or converter box control menu to start the scanning process
  2. Your TV will do the rest. This process usually takes a few minutes to complete. 

Once your TV has finished rescanning broadcast signals, you'll still get CBS on Channel 2. If you have any problems rescanning, you should be able to get instructions by selecting the "Set-Up" or "Menu" button on your television or converter box remote control. You can also check the user manual for your TV or converter box for instructions on rescanning TV signals.
