The Great CBS Caper: Finding Your Favorite Shows on DISH in Washington State
Hey there, fellow Washingtonians! Feeling the itch to catch the latest episode of Survivor or that gripping NCIS investigation? You know, the one where Gibbs gets into trouble (again)? But wait, where's CBS hiding on your DISH? Don't worry, we've all been there, frantically flipping through channels while muttering curses under our breath. Fear not, for I, your friendly neighborhood channel decoder, am here to crack the code!
Hold Your Horses (Unless They're Racing on CBS): It's a Local Thing!
Unlike some channels that roam the satellite waves freely, CBS is a local fella. That means the channel number can vary depending on where you live in Washington. But fret not, intrepid viewer! DISH wants you to enjoy your CSI: Miami marathons in peace.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
Here's the Dish (Pun Totally Intended) on Finding CBS
There are two main ways to find your local CBS affiliate on DISH:
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
- The Zipcode Sleuth: Head over to the DISH website's local channel finder [use a generic term for searching, e.g., 'look up']. Pop in your zip code, and DISH will reveal the magic number for CBS in your area.
- The Channel Fliparoo: If you're feeling adventurous (or just impatient), you can do the old-fashioned channel scan. Hit that "Scan" button on your remote and let DISH do its channel-finding magic. Once it's done, CBS should be nestled comfortably amongst your other channels.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Really, Who Wants to Miss Out on the Good Stuff?)

Here's a friendly reminder: CBS is usually included in DISH's America's Top packages. So, if you're subscribed to one of those, you shouldn't have any trouble receiving your local CBS goodness.

Did you know you can ditch the cable box altogether and snag CBS with a good old-fashioned antenna? It's free (except for the cost of the antenna, of course) and can be a great option depending on your location.
