TV channels & antenna towers in Dale, Indiana

With roughly 1,540 residents, Dale is a small community in Indiana. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 33 licensed TV transmitters: 15 full-power, 6 Class A, 11 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 14 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 3 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 6 transmitters are within 25 miles, 13 between 25 and 45 miles, and 14 farther out. Six of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Evansville, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Evansville's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 25 (WEHT), CBS on channel 32 (WLKY), NBC on channel 14 (WFIE), Fox on channel 44.2 (WEVV-TV), CW on channel 7 (WTVW), ION on channel 30.3 (WELW-LD) and Telemundo on channel 15 (WYYW-CD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair 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 237°. The main network towers for Dale sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WFIE and WEVV-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 35 miles southwest of Dale (236° SW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Dale at fair strength or better, 56% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Dale, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Dale is WEHT (ABC), 38 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WLKY (CBS), 64 miles east, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.

With 14 stations at fair strength or better, Dale ranks 206th of 352 places in Indiana: fewer than the typical Indiana town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 20 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.

51% of Indiana's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Owensboro, 28 miles away.
