You may be receiving interference from KSDS (FM). Their tower is on the campus of Mesa College in Linda Vista and their signal may overwhelm your TV when tuned to San Diego 6 and receiving us via an antenna or rabbit ears. You may be able to reduce the interference if you use a horizontal rooftop TV antenna instead of rabbit ears, especially if you are not located directly north of Mesa College. Having cable TV should eliminate the problem. Better yet, try our digital service by purchasing a converter or HDTV in order to enjoy the best TV picture. An FM-trap device will help if you don’t have the digital converter. KSDS can provide the trap by contacting them at (619) 388-4440.
