Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal). 7 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna E, at about 99°. The main network towers for Hidden Valley sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WXIX-TV and WLWT, transmit from the same tower site about 16 miles east of Hidden Valley (100° E). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Hidden Valley at fair strength or better, 56% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Hidden Valley is WCPO-TV (ABC), 19 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WHIO-TV (CBS), 51 miles northeast, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
