Over-the-air TV in Hubbard

Hubbard is a town of about 7,650 people in Ohio. There are 65 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 30 full-power, 10 Class A, 21 low-power and 4 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 20 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 11 at good or strong strength.

7 of them are within 25 miles of Hubbard, 5 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 53 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 22 network stations in range are licensed to Pittsburgh, PA, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Pittsburgh's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 33 (WYTV), CBS on channel 2 (KDKA-TV), NBC on channel 11 (WPXI), Fox on channel 27.2 (WKBN-TV), CW on channel 21.2 (WFMJ-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 (fair signal). 10 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 Hubbard

Point your antenna SSW, at about 210°. The main network towers for Hubbard sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WFMJ-TV, WYTV and WKBN-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 6.4 miles southwest of Hubbard (215° SW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Hubbard at fair strength or better, 42% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Hubbard

The farthest main network tower for Hubbard is WKBN-TV (Fox), 8.0 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

KDKA-TV (CBS), 54 miles southeast and WPXI (NBC), 56 miles southeast, 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.

WFMJ-TV is only 6.4 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.

Setting up an antenna in Hubbard: step by step

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 210° SSW, the direction of WKBN-TV (Fox), 8.0 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 20 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
