TV channels & antenna towers in Bellevue, Ohio

With roughly 8,010 residents, Bellevue is a town in Ohio. Our map shows 41 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 21 full-power, 5 Class A, 13 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 13 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 1 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 9 between 25 and 45 miles, and 31 farther out. Five of the 13 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 5 (WEWS-TV), CBS on channel 11 (WTOL), NBC on channel 24 (WNWO-TV), Fox on channel 36 (WUPW), CW on channel 55 (WBNX-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). 10 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 NW, at about 314°. The main network towers for Bellevue sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WNWO-TV and WTOL, transmit from the same tower site about 38 miles northwest of Bellevue (316° NW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Bellevue at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Bellevue is WUPW (Fox), 41 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WEWS-TV (ABC), 59 miles east, 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 13 stations at fair strength or better, Bellevue ranks 538th of 686 places in Ohio: fewer than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 38 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 Sandusky, 14 miles away.
