Point your antenna SE, at about 132°. The main network towers for Temperance sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WTVG, WUPW and WTOL, transmit from the same tower site about 10 miles southeast of Temperance (130° SE). 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 Temperance at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Temperance is WNWO-TV (NBC), 13 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WXYZ-TV (ABC), 50 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.

WNWO-TV is only 13 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.
