Which way to point your antenna in Fishers

Point your antenna WSW, at about 249°. The main network towers for Fishers sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WXIN, WTTK, WHMB-TV and WISH-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 11 miles southwest of Fishers (245° WSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Fishers at fair strength or better, 36% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Fishers

The farthest main network tower for Fishers is WXIN (Fox), 11 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WFYI is only 11 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.

Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
