Which way to point your antenna in Brunswick
Point your antenna NE, at about 36°. The main network towers for Brunswick sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Six network stations, WJW, WEWS-TV, WOIO, WQHS-DT and WBNX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 11 miles northeast of Brunswick (37° NE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Brunswick at fair strength or better, 67% 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 Brunswick, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Brunswick
The farthest main network tower for Brunswick is WKYC (NBC), 13 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
WEWS-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.
