TV channels & antenna towers in Versailles, Kentucky

Versailles is a town of about 9,150 people in Kentucky. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 28 licensed TV transmitters: 19 full-power, 3 Class A, 3 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 12 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 5 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 4 between 25 and 45 miles, and 20 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 best-placed network stations 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) and ION on channel 67 (WUPX-TV). 9 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 102°. The main network towers for Versailles 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 18 miles east of Versailles (93° E). 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 Versailles at fair strength or better, 44% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Versailles is WDKY-TV (Fox), 25 miles away with a strong 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 12 stations at fair strength or better, Versailles ranks 142nd of 275 places in Kentucky: fewer than the typical Kentucky town (13). Its nearest major network tower is 18 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 Frankfort, 13 miles away.
