Which way to point your antenna in Leo-Cedarville

Point your antenna SW, at about 229°. The main network towers for Leo-Cedarville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WISE-TV, WPTA, WFFT-TV and WANE-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 12 miles southwest of Leo-Cedarville (229° SW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Leo-Cedarville at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Leo-Cedarville

The farthest main network tower for Leo-Cedarville is WANE-TV (CBS), 12 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WNDU-TV (NBC), 68 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.

WISE-TV is only 12 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.
