Which way to point your antenna in Bridgetown

Point your antenna ESE, at about 109°. The main network towers for Bridgetown sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WKOI-TV, WBDT, WDTN, WKEF and WHIO-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 44 miles northeast of Bridgetown (27° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Bridgetown at fair strength or better, 56% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Bridgetown

The farthest main network tower for Bridgetown is WCPO-TV (ABC), 7.7 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WHIO-TV (CBS), 45 miles northeast, 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.

WXIX-TV is only 5.3 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.
