Over-the-air TV in Walton

Walton is a small community of about 1,020 people in Indiana. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 46 licensed TV transmitters: 21 full-power, 8 Class A, 15 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 7 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 3 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Walton, 5 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 41 are more than 45 miles out. Seven of the 21 network stations in range are licensed to Indianapolis, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Indianapolis's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 6 (WRTV), CBS on channel 29 (WTTK), NBC on channel 13 (WTHR), Fox on channel 59 (WXIN), CW on channel 18.2 (WLFI-TV), Telemundo on channel 19 (WDNI-CD), Univision on channel 40 (WHMB-TV) and MeTV on channel 46.1 (WALV-CD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (fair signal). 7 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Walton

Point your antenna S, at about 177°. The main network towers for Walton sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WHMB-TV, WISH-TV, WXIN and WTTK, transmit from the same tower site about 53 miles south of Walton (178° S). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Walton at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WRTV (ABC), WTTK (CBS) and WXIN (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Walton. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Walton

The farthest main network tower for Walton is WXIN (Fox), 53 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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 Walton: 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 178° S, the direction of WXIN (Fox), 53 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 7 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.
