Over-the-air TV in Lebanon

Lebanon is a town of about 15,900 people in Indiana. There are 31 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 15 full-power, 7 Class A, 7 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 24 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 20 transmitters are within 25 miles, 4 between 25 and 45 miles, and 7 farther out. Seven of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Indianapolis, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Indianapolis's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 6 (WRTV), CBS on channel 29 (WTTK), NBC on channel 13 (WTHR), Fox on channel 59 (WXIN), CW on channel 8 (WISH-TV), ION on channel 63 (WIPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 19 (WDNI-CD), Univision on channel 40 (WHMB-TV) and MeTV on channel 46.1 (WALV-CD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal) and Univision (good signal). 6 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 Lebanon

Point your antenna SE, at about 125°. The main network towers for Lebanon sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WHMB-TV, WISH-TV, WXIN and WTTK, transmit from the same tower site about 18 miles southeast of Lebanon (127° SE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lebanon at fair strength or better, 62% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Lebanon

The farthest main network tower for Lebanon is WXIN (Fox), 18 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Lebanon: step by step

Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
Point it toward 128° SE, the direction of WXIN (Fox), 18 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 24 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.
