WRTV (ABC), WLWT (NBC) and WXIN (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Greensburg. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Greensburg

The farthest main network tower for Greensburg is WRTV (ABC), 54 miles away with a good 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 Greensburg: 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 316° NW, the direction of WRTV (ABC), 54 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 16 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.
