TV channels & antenna towers in Andover, Ohio

Andover is a small community of about 1,120 people in Ohio. There are 45 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 21 full-power, 3 Class A, 18 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 15 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Andover, 17 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 28 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 16 network stations in range are licensed to Cleveland, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Cleveland's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 33 (WYTV), CBS on channel 35 (WSEE-TV), NBC on channel 3 (WKYC), Fox on channel 66 (WFXP), CW on channel 21.2 (WFMJ-TV), ION on channel 23 (WVPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 6 (WTCL-LD) and Univision on channel 61 (WQHS-DT). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (fair signal). 7 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Andover are in different directions: ABC 186° S (38 mi), CBS 41° NE (40 mi) and Fox 41° NE (40 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Four network stations, WFXP, WJET-TV, WICU-TV and WSEE-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 40 miles northeast of Andover (41° NE). 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 Andover at fair strength or better, 40% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Andover is WSEE-TV (CBS), 40 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WKYC (NBC), 60 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 15 stations at fair strength or better, Andover ranks 485th of 686 places in Ohio: fewer than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 37 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.

58% of Ohio's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Warren, 29 miles away.
