Over-the-air TV in Grandview

Grandview is a small community of about 1,470 people in Ohio. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 23 licensed TV transmitters: 16 full-power, 5 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 18 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 15 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 10 transmitters are within 25 miles, 10 between 25 and 45 miles, and 3 farther out. Four of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Cincinnati, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Cincinnati's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 9 (WCPO-TV), CBS on channel 7 (WHIO-TV), NBC on channel 5 (WLWT), 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 (fair signal). 7 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Grandview

Point your antenna ESE, at about 114°. The main network towers for Grandview sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WKOI-TV, WBDT, WDTN, WKEF and WHIO-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 44 miles northeast of Grandview (34° NE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Grandview at fair strength or better, 56% 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 Grandview, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Grandview

The farthest main network tower for Grandview is WCPO-TV (ABC), 13 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WHIO-TV (CBS), 45 miles northeast, 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.

WXIX-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.

Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
