Over-the-air TV in Neoga

Neoga is a small community of about 1,610 people in Illinois. There are 28 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 15 full-power, 2 Class A, 9 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 13 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 5 at good or strong strength.

3 of them are within 25 miles of Neoga, 1 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 24 are more than 45 miles out. Three of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Terre Haute, IN, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Terre Haute's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 15 (WICD), CBS on channel 3 (WCIA), NBC on channel 17 (WAND), Fox on channel 55 (WRSP-TV), CW on channel 23 (WBUI) and ION on channel 16.4 (WCQA-LD). 5 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Neoga

The main network towers around Neoga are in different directions: ABC 29° NNE (59 mi), CBS 0° N (54 mi), NBC 335° NNW (48 mi) and Fox 302° WNW (63 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WTWO, WAWV-TV and WTHI-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 57 miles east of Neoga (95° E). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Neoga at fair strength or better, 44% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Neoga

The farthest main network tower for Neoga is WRSP-TV (Fox), 63 miles away with a fair 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.

Setting up an antenna in Neoga: step by step

Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
Point it toward 302° WNW, the direction of WRSP-TV (Fox), 63 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 13 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
