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

The farthest main network tower for Ryland Heights is WXIX-TV (Fox), 12 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WHIO-TV (CBS), 55 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.

WCPO-TV is only 12 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.
