1 of them is within 25 miles of Chauncey, 7 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 30 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Columbus, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Columbus's stations.

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

The farthest main network tower for Chauncey is WHIZ-TV (Fox), 37 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WCHS-TV (ABC), 69 miles south and WBNS-TV (CBS), 62 miles northwest, 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.

WOUB-TV is only 5.9 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.

With 14 stations at fair strength or better, Chauncey ranks 509th of 686 places in Ohio: fewer than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 30 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
