Over-the-air TV in Georgetown

With roughly 4,500 residents, Georgetown is a town in Indiana. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 30 licensed TV transmitters: 15 full-power, 2 Class A, 12 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 9 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 10 transmitters are within 25 miles, 1 between 25 and 45 miles, and 19 farther out. Six of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to South Bend, so most of the network channels you will find here come from South Bend's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 57 (WBND-LD), CBS on channel 15 (WANE-TV), NBC on channel 16 (WNDU-TV), Fox on channel 22.2 (WSBT-TV), CW on channel 25 (WCWW-LD), ION on channel 43 (WZPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 69.2 (WMYS-LD), Univision on channel 46 (WHME-TV) and MeTV on channel 64.2 (WLLA). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal) and Univision (strong signal). 5 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 Georgetown

Point your antenna S, at about 175°. The main network towers for Georgetown sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WSBT-TV and WNDU-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 7.8 miles south of Georgetown (176° S). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Georgetown at fair strength or better, all arrive from the south, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Georgetown

The farthest main network tower for Georgetown is WNDU-TV (NBC), 8.6 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WPTA (ABC), 69 miles southeast and WANE-TV (CBS), 70 miles southeast, 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.

WSBT-TV is only 7.8 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.

Setting up an antenna in Georgetown: step by step

Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
Point it toward 175° S, the direction of WNDU-TV (NBC), 8.6 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 9 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.
