TV channels & antenna towers in Clayton, Ohio

With roughly 13,100 residents, Clayton is a town in Ohio. Our map shows 29 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 18 full-power, 3 Class A, 7 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 16 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 13 at good or strong strength.

10 of them are within 25 miles of Clayton, 1 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 18 are more than 45 miles 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.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 22 (WKEF), CBS on channel 7 (WHIO-TV), NBC on channel 2 (WDTN), Fox on channel 19 (WXIX-TV), CW on channel 26 (WBDT), ION on channel 43 (WKOI-TV) and Telemundo on channel 25 (WBQC-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 8 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna SSE, at about 149°. The main network towers for Clayton 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 Clayton (146° SE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Clayton at fair strength or better, 63% 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 Clayton, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Clayton is WDTN (NBC), 11 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WXIX-TV (Fox), 52 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.

With 16 stations at fair strength or better, Clayton ranks 462nd of 686 places in Ohio: fewer than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 11 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
