Suddenly lost several TV channels (Tucson: assessment, station, locations)

[patttyy]

We just came back from a 2-week trip and we get all our usual TV channels from our antenna except for
38, 39, 50, and 61. Did anyone else lose those channels? We've been playing with the antenna but we just can't bring those channels in. Thanks!

Winter atmosphere is my assessment for this temporary loss. Have '60s era 2nd story roof mounted antenna which will draw Tucson channels. They fuzz out this time of year) and this occurs with the 38s, also.
"61" did a location swap as Hero's is now 10-3 (also 18-3). This is FOX as 45 KUTP- FOX extra.

Reprogram set-up every few months and have never had reception from anything 39 or 50 related.

OP you may have had a temporary outage, re-scan TV set again.

Did you re-scan? Some stations across the country have been changing their station numbers because of something the government did, which caused a shuffling of station numbers. I forget the details.

In my area, I received announcements for a couple of stations (those info scroll lines across the bottom of the screen) to re-scan after November 30th, since their station locations on our tvs may change. I also re-scan occasionally.

We did a re-scan as bpollen advised and it fixed everything. We now have 71 channels, a lot more than before! And we have all the channels back that disappeared.
It was confusing at first because in our TV settings it's called Auto-Program instead of re-scan, but once we figured it out, in just a few minutes everything was fixed.

Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!
