Two network stations, WWHO and WSYX, transmit from the same tower site about 28 miles west of Hebron (267° W). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Hebron at fair strength or better, 80% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Hebron

The farthest main network tower for Hebron is WCMH-TV (NBC), 28 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.

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