 PBS Fort Wayne WX/Channel 39.5   PBS Fort Wayne began broadcasting a 24/7 Weather Radar channel known as PBS39WX, beginning at 12 Midnight July 1, 2019 on broadcast television, channel 39.5.As of September 1, 2019, PBS Fort Wayne has upgraded the weather radar and information it is broadcasting on channel 39.5.  The evolution of this service on PBS Fort Wayne WX/Channel39.5 adds weather data and information area viewers have requested since the rollout of this new channel on broadcast channel 39.5.  In addition to new radar views being shown, screens with daily forecasts plus other climatic information will also rotate in throughout the day. Audio for the second phase will be a direct feed of National Weather Service audio from the regional office in North Webster, Indiana.

When a severe weather watch or warning for the PBS Fort Wayne service area occurs, the second phase also allows screens to focus specifically on the PBS39 service region for the duration of those events. In addition, scrolling type at the bottom of the screen will change and provide vital information for viewers as these events occur and evolve.

While this channel is currently available to area viewers using standard broadcast (over-the air antenna television), it is hoped that cable providers and other pay TV services such as Comcast/Xfinity, Frontier, Time/Warner and others will add this public service channel to their lineup, even though they are not obligated to do so.
