Over-the-air TV in Brookfield Center

Brookfield Center, Ohio has a population of about 1,210. Our map shows 63 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 29 full-power, 9 Class A, 22 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 21 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 6 transmitters are within 25 miles, 7 between 25 and 45 miles, and 50 farther out. Five of the 22 network stations in range are licensed to Pittsburgh, PA, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Pittsburgh's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 33 (WYTV), CBS on channel 2 (KDKA-TV), NBC on channel 3 (WKYC), Fox on channel 27.2 (WKBN-TV), 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). 9 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Brookfield Center

Point your antenna SSW, at about 200°. The main network towers for Brookfield Center sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WFMJ-TV, WYTV and WKBN-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 12 miles south of Brookfield Center (201° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Brookfield Center at fair strength or better, 36% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Brookfield Center

The farthest main network tower for Brookfield Center is WKBN-TV (Fox), 14 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

KDKA-TV (CBS), 59 miles southeast and WKYC (NBC), 60 miles west, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

WFMJ-TV is only 12 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.
