WBRE/WYOU Launch “12 Days of Streaming” for Free App

WBRE and WYOU announced the launch of “The 12 Days of Streaming,” a special campaign to introduce the region’s newest free streaming platform, 28/22 Now.

The campaign will showcase available programming daily across WBRE and WYOU’s social media platforms and include a sweepstakes offering prizes such as a $1,500 ShurSave gift card and deluxe carpet cleaning from NEPA Cleaning Pros.

The 28/22 Now streaming app is completely free to download and use, offering unlimited access to all local 28/22 newscasts, Future Alert Weather, 28/22 Sports, Pa Live, and entertainment programming. Available on Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV with no subscription required, the app keeps viewers connected to breaking news, severe weather updates, and live coverage 24/7, making it perfect for cord cutters who want local news and programming.

“We are thrilled to bring the 28/22 Now streaming app to Northeast Pennsylvania,” said Andrew Wyatt, Vice President and General Manager of WBRE-TV. “This app provides free access to live newscasts and quality entertainment anywhere in the United States. Whether you’re home in NEPA or traveling, you can stay connected to what’s happening in our community.”

In addition to the holiday campaign, WBRE/WYOU are excited to announce a new partnership with the Ryan Leckey Show, which will now be available on the 28/22 Now streaming app. This collaboration brings Ryan’s signature energy and engaging content to viewers, further expanding the app’s lineup of local programming.

To participate in the 12 DAYS OF STREAMING sweepstakes, viewers must download the free streaming app and enter on the 28/22 Now streaming app. Sweepstakes details, including prize information and official rules, are available in the 28/22 Now app.

WYOU-22 Temporarily Available on Channel 28.3

Antenna customers will not miss any WYOU/CBS programming or live sports this holiday weekend despite a technical issue with WYOU’s over-the-air signal. Broadcasts of WYOU 22.1 will be available on channel 28.3 until the issues can be resolved. This change only impacts over-the-air antenna viewers of WYOU CBS 22.1. The channel move ensures viewers won’t miss a second of Thanksgiving Day programming as well as NFL, Big Ten, and SEC football including the Steelers and Eagles games this weekend.

This only impacts over-the-air customers who view WYOU 22 with an antenna on 22.1. 

WYOU to Air Market Debate

On Saturday, May 6 from 7:00PM-7:30PM, WYOU will host a multi-market debate between House 163rd District Democrat Candidate Heather Boyd and House 163rd Republican Candidate Katie Ford.

The “Special Edition of This Week in Pennsylvania” will be held at the WHTM/abc27 studio in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

The 30-minute debate will be hosted by WHTM abc27 News anchor Dennis Owens. The work by WHTM and Dennis Owens in producing and anchoring four high profile statewide debates in 2022 was critically acclaimed by politicians and journalists across the Commonwealth.
