With roughly 1,550 residents, Anna is a small community in Ohio. Our map shows 40 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 18 full-power, 10 Class A, 11 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 15 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

3 of them are within 25 miles of Anna, 4 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 33 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Columbus, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Columbus's stations.

Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 8 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 Anna are in different directions: ABC 185° S (46 mi), CBS 185° S (46 mi), NBC 185° S (47 mi) and Fox 6° N (26 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, WLIO and WOHL-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 26 miles north of Anna (6° N). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Anna at fair strength or better, 63% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Anna is WDTN (NBC), 47 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 15 stations at fair strength or better, Anna ranks 485th of 686 places in Ohio: fewer than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 9.7 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.

15% of Ohio's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Sidney, 7.7 miles away.
