5 of them are within 25 miles of Lewisport, 13 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 23 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Evansville, IN, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Evansville's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 25 (WEHT), CBS on channel 32 (WLKY), NBC on channel 14 (WFIE), Fox on channel 44.2 (WEVV-TV), CW on channel 7 (WTVW), ION on channel 30.3 (WELW-LD) and Telemundo on channel 15 (WYYW-CD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal). 10 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 W, at about 264°. The main network towers for Lewisport sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WFIE and WEVV-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 34 miles west of Lewisport (264° W). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lewisport at fair strength or better, 56% 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 Lewisport, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Lewisport is WEHT (ABC), 37 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WLKY (CBS), 65 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 13 stations at fair strength or better, Lewisport ranks 118th of 275 places in Kentucky: the same as the typical Kentucky town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 20 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
