TV channels & antenna towers in New Haven, Indiana

New Haven is a city of about 15,700 people in Indiana. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 30 licensed TV transmitters: 11 full-power, 5 Class A, 11 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 16 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 11 at good or strong strength.

15 of them are within 25 miles of New Haven, 4 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 11 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 9 network stations in range are licensed to Fort Wayne, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Fort Wayne's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 21 (WPTA), CBS on channel 15 (WANE-TV), Fox on channel 55 (WFFT-TV), CW on channel 33 (WISE-TV) and Univision on channel 46 (WHME-TV). No NBC affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is WNDU-TV in South Bend, IN, 72 miles to the northwest. Spanish-language viewers can pick up Univision (very weak signal). 5 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 WNW, at about 283°. The main network towers for New Haven sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WANE-TV, WISE-TV, WPTA and WFFT-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 8.8 miles west of New Haven (281° W). 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 New Haven at fair strength or better, all arrive from the west, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for New Haven is WFFT-TV (Fox), 9.8 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WANE-TV is only 8.8 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.

With 16 stations at fair strength or better, New Haven ranks 146th of 352 places in Indiana: the same as the typical Indiana town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 8.8 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
