Shepherdsville is a town of about 12,000 people in Kentucky. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 21 licensed TV transmitters: 11 full-power, 5 Class A, 4 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 15 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 5 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 3 transmitters are within 25 miles, 11 between 25 and 45 miles, and 7 farther out. Four of the 6 network stations in range are licensed to Louisville, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Louisville's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 11 (WHAS-TV), CBS on channel 32 (WLKY), NBC on channel 3 (WAVE), Fox on channel 41 (WDRB), CW on channel 58 (WBKI) and ION on channel 67 (WUPX-TV). 5 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 NNW, at about 345°. The main network towers for Shepherdsville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WDRB, WBKI, WHAS-TV, WAVE and WLKY, transmit from the same tower site about 26 miles north of Shepherdsville (344° NNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Shepherdsville at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Shepherdsville is WAVE (NBC), 27 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WBNA is only 3.7 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 15 stations at fair strength or better, Shepherdsville ranks 82nd of 275 places in Kentucky: more than the typical Kentucky town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 26 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
