Have you tried adjusting the dial on the base of your antenna? These dials on rabbit-ear + loop antennas are usually there to manually "tune" the loop portion of the antenna (the part that deals with UHF channels). According to the product description for your antenna, this 6-position switch should allow you to adjust the antenna slightly.
If you look at the example gain chart for a loop antenna below, each position of the dial on your antenna should cause the peak of the curve to move to a different channel. If you can find a position that optimizes the gain on channel 36, you might be able to stabilize KSKN (just try all 6 positions until you find the one or two positions that work best).

That is what I had feared...do you know of anywhere I can find further information on this or if there is somewhere I can report these changes to get the software updated?

From what I've read, some of the database files can be edited by hand, but I've never tried this myself, so I can't offer very much guidance in the matter. I found this article on Microsoft's web site that might be of use (it's an older article, circa 2004):

If you're using a newer version of MCE (like Windows 7 era), then things seem to have changed a bit.
