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

The farthest main network tower for Hamilton is WHIO-TV (CBS), 29 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WSTR-TV is only 14 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 19 stations at fair strength or better, Hamilton ranks 252nd of 686 places in Ohio: more than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 19 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
