With roughly 18,800 residents, Erlanger is a town in Kentucky. Our map shows 26 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 19 full-power, 5 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 18 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 16 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 10 transmitters are within 25 miles, 3 between 25 and 45 miles, and 13 farther 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 best-placed network stations 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 (good 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 NNE, at about 29°. The main network towers for Erlanger sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WXIX-TV and WLWT, transmit from the same tower site about 7.8 miles north of Erlanger (21° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Erlanger at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Erlanger is WCPO-TV (ABC), 9.3 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WHIO-TV (CBS), 53 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.

WCVN-TV is only 5.2 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 18 stations at fair strength or better, Erlanger ranks 14th of 275 places in Kentucky: more than the typical Kentucky town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 7.8 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
