The farthest main network tower for Farmersburg is WAWV-TV (ABC), 0.7 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WTTV (CBS), 67 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.

WTHI-TV is only 0.5 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
