Two network stations, WTAP-TV and WOVA-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 9.7 miles southwest of Devola (208° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Devola at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WHIZ-TV (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Devola. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Devola is WHIZ-TV (Fox), 41 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WTRF-TV (ABC), 56 miles northeast and WDTV (CBS), 62 miles east, 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.

WTAP-TV is only 9.7 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 7 stations at fair strength or better, Devola ranks 672nd of 686 places in Ohio: fewer than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 9.7 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.

58% of Ohio's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Parkersburg, 15 miles away.
