Over-the-air TV in Fairview Park

With roughly 1,390 residents, Fairview Park is a small community in Indiana. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 39 licensed TV transmitters: 19 full-power, 7 Class A, 10 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 8 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 3 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Fairview Park, 8 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 31 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 16 network stations in range are licensed to Indianapolis, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Indianapolis's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 15 (WICD), CBS on channel 3 (WCIA), NBC on channel 13 (WTHR), Fox on channel 27 (WCCU), CW on channel 2.2 (WTWO), Univision on channel 40 (WHMB-TV) and MeTV on channel 46.1 (WALV-CD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (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.

Which way to point your antenna in Fairview Park

Point your antenna NW, at about 316°. The main network towers for Fairview Park sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WTWO, WAWV-TV and WTHI-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 30 miles south of Fairview Park (177° S). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Fairview Park at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Fairview Park

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

WCIA (CBS), 62 miles northwest and WTHR (NBC), 68 miles east, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

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.

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 316° NW, the direction of WCCU (Fox), 38 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 8 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
