Taylorsville is a small community of about 1,030 people in Kentucky. There are 25 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 17 full-power, 4 Class A, 3 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 16 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 15 between 25 and 45 miles, and 9 farther out. Four of the 10 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 3 (WAVE), Fox on channel 41 (WDRB), CW on channel 58 (WBKI) and ION on channel 67 (WUPX-TV). 7 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 NW, at about 311°. The main network towers for Taylorsville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WDRB, WBKI, WAVE, WLKY and WHAS-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 35 miles northwest of Taylorsville (309° NW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Taylorsville at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Taylorsville is WAVE (NBC), 35 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WTVQ-DT (ABC), 52 miles east, 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 16 stations at fair strength or better, Taylorsville ranks 63rd of 275 places in Kentucky: more than the typical Kentucky town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 35 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 Jeffersontown, 16 miles away.
