By distance, 10 transmitters are within 25 miles, 2 between 25 and 45 miles, and 17 farther out. Four of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Cincinnati, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Cincinnati's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Brookville

Point your antenna SE, at about 132°. The main network towers for Brookville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WHIO-TV, WKEF, WDTN, WKOI-TV and WBDT, transmit from the same tower site about 11 miles southeast of Brookville (129° SE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Brookville at fair strength or better, 56% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Brookville

The farthest main network tower for Brookville is WDTN (NBC), 12 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WXIX-TV (Fox), 50 miles south, 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.

WHIO-TV is only 11 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.

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 135° SE, the direction of WDTN (NBC), 12 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
