Two network stations, WPBI-CD and WPBY-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 29 miles southeast of Fowler (121° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Fowler at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WCIA (CBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Fowler. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Fowler is WCIA (CBS), 69 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

With 6 stations at fair strength or better, Fowler ranks 346th of 352 places in Indiana: fewer than the typical Indiana town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 29 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
