Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 10 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 4 at good or strong strength.

5 of them are within 25 miles of Worthington, 3 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 25 are more than 45 miles out. Seven of the 13 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 Worthington

Point your antenna WNW, at about 290°. The main network towers for Worthington sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WTHI-TV, WTWO and WAWV-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 23 miles west of Worthington (291° WNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Worthington at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Worthington

The farthest main network tower for Worthington is WAWV-TV (ABC), 24 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WTTV (CBS), 49 miles northeast and WTHR (NBC), 70 miles northeast, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Worthington: step by step

Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
Point it toward 290° WNW, the direction of WAWV-TV (ABC), 24 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 10 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.
