Maysville is a town of about 8,820 people in Kentucky. There are 21 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 16 full-power, 3 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 11 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 4 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 3 between 25 and 45 miles, and 17 farther out. Four of the 9 network stations in range are licensed to Cincinnati, OH, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Cincinnati's stations.

No CBS affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is WHIO-TV in Dayton, OH, 80 miles to the north. 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.

The main network towers around Maysville are in different directions: ABC 310° NW (53 mi), NBC 309° NW (53 mi) and Fox 211° SSW (61 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WKRC-TV, WCPO-TV and WLWT, transmit from the same tower site about 52 miles northwest of Maysville (309° NW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Maysville at fair strength or better, 57% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WCPO-TV (ABC), WLWT (NBC) and WDKY-TV (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Maysville. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Maysville is WDKY-TV (Fox), 61 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 11 stations at fair strength or better, Maysville ranks 166th of 275 places in Kentucky: fewer than the typical Kentucky town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 52 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.

29% of Kentucky's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Portsmouth, 41 miles away.
