Which way to point your antenna in Amelia

Point your antenna WNW, at about 292°. The main network towers for Amelia sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WKRC-TV, WCPO-TV and WLWT, transmit from the same tower site about 16 miles west of Amelia (292° WNW). 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 Amelia at fair strength or better, 56% 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 Amelia, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Amelia

The farthest main network tower for Amelia is WXIX-TV (Fox), 19 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WHIO-TV (CBS), 49 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.

Setting up an antenna in Amelia: step by step

Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
Point it toward 290° WNW, the direction of WXIX-TV (Fox), 19 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 18 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
