CBS is one of the large broadcast television networks in the United States that is currently airing popular shows like “60 Minutes,” “Blue Bloods,” “NCIS,” “Young Sheldon,” and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” If you are a Dish Network client residing in Florida and would like to know which channel number to switch to catch your favorite CBS show, then you are in the right place.
CBS is on channel 4001 in Florida on Dish Network, and it is televised in High Definition (HD). This channel number is general and may be used by any of the viewers irrespective of their geographical location, whether in the Panhandle or South Florida. Whether you are dwelling in Miami Jacksonville or any other town you will find the CBS station feed on channel number 4001 for your Dish Network receiver.
The local CBS affiliates Dish carries in different Florida markets include:
- HPLINK One from WFOR Channel 4 for The Miami/Fort Lauderdale Market
- This incident is reported in WJAX Channel 47 which is a television station based in Jacksonville.
- TV Station Source: WTSP Channel 10 (Tampa/St. Petersburg)
- The television station involved in the case is WINK Channel 11 based in Fort Myers/Naples.
- WPEC TV 12 Channe (West Palm Beach)
- WCTV Channel 6 – Television station located in Tallahassee.
Although the channel number for the station (4001) is the same throughout Nevada, which CBS station you receive on that channel will depend on the designated market area (DMA) you are located in. These various local affiliates in Florida already have arrangements with Dish to air their signals in their areas.
Therefore, when you switch to CBS on channel 4001 using Dish Network from any place in Florida, you receive the station that is programmed to be aired in your territory including WFOR Miami, WJAX Jacksonville, or any of them. This helps to make sure you do not miss your favorite show that is being aired by CBS.
