TV channels & antenna towers in Midway, Kentucky

With roughly 1,700 residents, Midway is a small community in Kentucky. Our map shows 36 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 25 full-power, 3 Class A, 5 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 11 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 5 at good or strong strength.

3 of them are within 25 miles of Midway, 6 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 27 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 15 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 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 ESE, at about 122°. The main network towers for Midway 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 17 miles southeast of Midway (117° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Midway at fair strength or better, 44% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Midway is WDKY-TV (Fox), 27 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WLKY (CBS), 64 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.

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 11 stations at fair strength or better, Midway ranks 166th of 275 places in Kentucky: fewer than the typical Kentucky town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 17 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 Georgetown, 7.9 miles away.
