Over-the-air TV in Verona

Verona, Kentucky has a population of about 1,460. Our map shows 28 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 21 full-power, 5 low-power and 2 translators.

By distance, 11 transmitters are within 25 miles, 2 between 25 and 45 miles, and 15 farther out. Four of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Cincinnati, OH, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Cincinnati's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Verona

Point your antenna NNE, at about 19°. The main network towers for Verona sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WXIX-TV and WLWT, transmit from the same tower site about 22 miles north of Verona (16° NNE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Verona at fair strength or better, 69% 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 Verona, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Verona

The farthest main network tower for Verona is WCPO-TV (ABC), 23 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WHIO-TV (CBS), 67 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.

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.
