Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Upland, 1 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 39 are more than 45 miles out. Seven of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Indianapolis, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Indianapolis's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Upland

The main network towers around Upland are in different directions: ABC 20° NNE (46 mi), CBS 21° NNE (46 mi), NBC 224° SW (52 mi) and Fox 20° NNE (46 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Four network stations, WANE-TV, WISE-TV, WPTA and WFFT-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 46 miles north of Upland (21° NNE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Upland at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WTHR (NBC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Upland. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Upland

The farthest main network tower for Upland is WTHR (NBC), 52 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

Setting up an antenna in Upland: step by step

Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
Point it toward 224° SW, the direction of WTHR (NBC), 52 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 12 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.
