Over-the-air TV in Greenwich
Greenwich is a small community of about 1,430 people in Ohio. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 43 licensed TV transmitters: 20 full-power, 6 Class A, 16 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 17 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.
By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 3 between 25 and 45 miles, and 36 farther out. Five of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Cleveland, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Cleveland's stations.
The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 5 (WEWS-TV), CBS on channel 19 (WOIO), NBC on channel 3 (WKYC), Fox on channel 8 (WJW), CW on channel 55 (WBNX-TV), ION on channel 23 (WVPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 6 (WTCL-LD) and Univision on channel 61 (WQHS-DT). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (good signal). 9 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 Greenwich
Point your antenna ENE, at about 60°. The main network towers for Greenwich sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Six network stations, WJW, WEWS-TV, WOIO, WQHS-DT and WBNX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 48 miles northeast of Greenwich (61° ENE). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Greenwich at fair strength or better, 71% 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 Greenwich, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Greenwich
The farthest main network tower for Greenwich is WKYC (NBC), 50 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
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.

Setting up an antenna in Greenwich: step by step
- Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
- Point it toward 60° ENE, the direction of WKYC (NBC), 50 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
- Expect around 17 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
