TV channels & antenna towers in Alexandria, Kentucky

With roughly 9,010 residents, Alexandria is a town in Kentucky. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 26 licensed TV transmitters: 19 full-power, 5 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 19 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 14 at good or strong strength.

12 of them are within 25 miles of Alexandria, 1 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 13 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Cincinnati, OH, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Cincinnati's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 9 (WCPO-TV), CBS on channel 7 (WHIO-TV), NBC on channel 5 (WLWT), Fox on channel 19 (WXIX-TV), CW on channel 26 (WBDT), ION on channel 43 (WKOI-TV) and Telemundo on channel 25 (WBQC-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (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.

Point your antenna NNW, at about 328°. The main network towers for Alexandria sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WKRC-TV, WCPO-TV and WLWT, transmit from the same tower site about 12 miles northwest of Alexandria (331° NNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Alexandria at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Alexandria is WXIX-TV (Fox), 14 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WHIO-TV (CBS), 54 miles north, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.

WCPO-TV is only 13 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 19 stations at fair strength or better, Alexandria ranks 6th of 275 places in Kentucky: more than the typical Kentucky town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 12 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.

23% of Kentucky's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an indoor antenna. The nearest larger city is Independence, 8.5 miles away.
