TV channels & antenna towers in Burlington, Ohio

With roughly 2,670 residents, Burlington is a town in Ohio. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 36 licensed TV transmitters: 17 full-power, 6 Class A, 11 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 3 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 2 transmitters are within 25 miles, 7 between 25 and 45 miles, and 27 farther out. Four of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Toledo, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Toledo's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 21 (WPTA), CBS on channel 15 (WANE-TV), NBC on channel 24 (WNWO-TV), Fox on channel 36 (WUPW) and CW on channel 13.2 (WTVG). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Burlington are in different directions: ABC 235° SW (56 mi), CBS 234° SW (56 mi), NBC 82° E (50 mi) and Fox 82° E (45 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, WUPW and WTVG, transmit from the same tower site about 45 miles east of Burlington (82° E). 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 Burlington at fair strength or better, 44% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WPTA (ABC) and WANE-TV (CBS) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Burlington. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Burlington is WANE-TV (CBS), 56 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 13 stations at fair strength or better, Burlington ranks 538th of 686 places in Ohio: fewer than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 37 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.

15% of Ohio's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Adrian, 26 miles away.
