TV channels & antenna towers in Milan, Indiana

With roughly 1,890 residents, Milan is a small community in Indiana. Our map shows 40 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 27 full-power, 4 Class A, 6 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 23 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Milan, 11 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 29 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 18 network stations in range are licensed to Cincinnati, OH, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Cincinnati's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 9 (WCPO-TV), CBS on channel 4 (WTTV), NBC on channel 5 (WLWT), Fox on channel 19 (WXIX-TV), CW on channel 26 (WBDT), ION on channel 43 (WKOI-TV) and Telemundo on channel 25 (WBQC-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (weak signal). 11 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 90°. The main network towers for Milan 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 31 miles east of Milan (90° E). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 15 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Milan at fair strength or better, 33% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Milan is WCPO-TV (ABC), 34 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WTTV (CBS), 58 miles west, 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.

With 23 stations at fair strength or better, Milan ranks 47th of 352 places in Indiana: more than the typical Indiana town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 31 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
