Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Jeffersonville at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Jeffersonville

The farthest main network tower for Jeffersonville is WHAS-TV (ABC), 8.1 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WDRB is only 7.9 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.

  2. Point it toward 312° NW, the direction of WHAS-TV (ABC), 8.1 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
