Over-the-air TV in Farmland

With roughly 1,280 residents, Farmland is a small community in Indiana. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 53 licensed TV transmitters: 24 full-power, 9 Class A, 17 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 11 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Farmland, 4 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 48 are more than 45 miles out. Seven of the 20 network stations in range are licensed to Indianapolis, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Indianapolis's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 22 (WKEF), CBS on channel 7 (WHIO-TV), NBC on channel 2 (WDTN), Fox on channel 59 (WXIN), CW on channel 26 (WBDT), ION on channel 43 (WKOI-TV), Telemundo on channel 19 (WDNI-CD), Univision on channel 40 (WHMB-TV) and MeTV on channel 46.1 (WALV-CD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (weak signal). 8 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 Farmland

The main network towers around Farmland are in different directions: ABC 124° SE (56 mi), CBS 124° ESE (56 mi), NBC 125° SE (56 mi) and Fox 250° WSW (60 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Five network stations, WHIO-TV, WKEF, WDTN, WKOI-TV and WBDT, transmit from the same tower site about 56 miles southeast of Farmland (124° ESE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Farmland at fair strength or better, 63% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WKEF (ABC), WHIO-TV (CBS), WDTN (NBC) and WXIN (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Farmland. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Farmland

The farthest main network tower for Farmland is WXIN (Fox), 60 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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 Farmland: 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 250° WSW, the direction of WXIN (Fox), 60 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 11 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.
