TV channels & antenna towers in Carrollton, Kentucky

With roughly 3,890 residents, Carrollton is a town in Kentucky. Our map shows 31 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 21 full-power, 3 Class A, 4 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 17 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Carrollton, 12 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 18 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Louisville, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Louisville's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 9 (WCPO-TV), CBS on channel 32 (WLKY), NBC on channel 3 (WAVE), Fox on channel 41 (WDRB), CW on channel 58 (WBKI), ION on channel 67 (WUPX-TV) and Telemundo on channel 25 (WBQC-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 8 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 WSW, at about 238°. The main network towers for Carrollton sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WAVE, WLKY, WHAS-TV, WDRB and WBKI, transmit from the same tower site about 41 miles southwest of Carrollton (239° WSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Carrollton at fair strength or better, 45% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Carrollton is WDRB (Fox), 43 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WCPO-TV (ABC), 48 miles northeast, 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.

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.

With 17 stations at fair strength or better, Carrollton ranks 45th of 275 places in Kentucky: more than the typical Kentucky town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 41 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
