TV channels & antenna towers in Georgetown, Kentucky

Georgetown is a city of about 32,400 people in Kentucky. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 29 licensed TV transmitters: 22 full-power, 2 Class A, 3 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 10 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 5 at good or strong strength.

3 of them are within 25 miles of Georgetown, 6 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 20 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Cincinnati, OH, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Cincinnati's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 36 (WTVQ-DT), CBS on channel 32 (WLKY), NBC on channel 18 (WLEX-TV), Fox on channel 56 (WDKY-TV), CW on channel 27.2 (WKYT-TV), ION on channel 67 (WUPX-TV) and Telemundo on channel 25 (WBQC-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 11 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 SE, at about 146°. The main network towers for Georgetown sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WKYT-TV, WTVQ-DT and WLEX-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 14 miles southeast of Georgetown (144° SE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Georgetown at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Georgetown is WDKY-TV (Fox), 26 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WLKY (CBS), 70 miles west, 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.

WKYT-TV is only 14 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 10 stations at fair strength or better, Georgetown ranks 187th of 275 places in Kentucky: fewer than the typical Kentucky town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 14 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.

48% of Kentucky's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Lexington-Fayette, 12 miles away.
