TV channels & antenna towers in Greenville, Illinois

Greenville, Illinois has a population of about 6,670. Our map shows 34 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 14 full-power, 4 Class A, 14 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 10 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 4 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Greenville, 7 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 27 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 9 network stations in range are licensed to St. Louis, MO, so most of the network channels you will find here come from St. Louis's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 30 (KDNL-TV), CBS on channel 4 (KMOV), NBC on channel 5 (KSDK), Fox on channel 2 (KTVI), CW on channel 11 (KPLR-TV), ION on channel 46 (WRBU) and Telemundo on channel 45 (WODK-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna WSW, at about 245°. The main network towers for Greenville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KDNL-TV and KSDK, transmit from the same tower site about 54 miles southwest of Greenville (247° WSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Greenville at fair strength or better, 71% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

KDNL-TV (ABC) and KTVI (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Greenville. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Greenville is KTVI (Fox), 57 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 10 stations at fair strength or better, Greenville ranks 609th of 766 places in Illinois: fewer than the typical Illinois town (17). Its nearest major network tower is 54 miles away, against a state median of 24 miles.

18% of Illinois's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Edwardsville, 30 miles away.
