16 of them are within 25 miles of Huntertown, 0 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 21 are more than 45 miles 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.

Which way to point your antenna in Huntertown

Point your antenna S, at about 185°. The main network towers for Huntertown sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WFFT-TV, WISE-TV, WPTA and WANE-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 8.3 miles south of Huntertown (188° S). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Huntertown at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Huntertown

The farthest main network tower for Huntertown is WANE-TV (CBS), 9.3 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WNDU-TV (NBC), 60 miles northwest, 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.

WFFT-TV is only 8.3 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.
