Five network stations, WISH-TV, WXIN, WTTK, WHMB-TV and WRTV, transmit from the same tower site about 6.9 miles northeast of Speedway (28° NNE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Speedway at fair strength or better, 64% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Speedway

The farthest main network tower for Speedway is WTHR (NBC), 9.8 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.

WXIN is only 6.9 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.
