Digital Television
On WFSB-DT2 is a standard definition digital feed of sister station WSHM. On WFSB-DT3, Charter digital channel 243, Comcast digital channel 247, and Cox digital channel 801 is a 24-hour local news and weather channel known as "Eyewitness News NOW". To comply with the E/I requirements, Eyewitness News NOW airs three hours of Gina D's Kids Club every Saturday morning starting at 9am EST, the same time as Cookie Jar TV on the main channel.
Even though Fairfield County is part of the New York City market where CBS flagship WCBS-TV is based, WFSB targets viewers in the area through WFSB-DT4 "WFSB Fairfield County"; it is essentially a simulcast of "Eyewitness News NOW" except for a news crawl containing Fairfield County-specific headlines and weather graphics.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“It is not heroin or cocaine that makes one an addict, it is the need to escape from a harsh reality. There are more television addicts, more baseball and football addicts, more movie addicts, and certainly more alcohol addicts in this country than there are narcotics addicts.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
