By distance, 10 transmitters are within 25 miles, 1 between 25 and 45 miles, and 34 farther out. Five of the 19 network stations in range are licensed to Columbus, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Columbus's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Huber Heights

Point your antenna SW, at about 220°. The main network towers for Huber Heights sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WHIO-TV, WKEF, WDTN, WKOI-TV and WBDT, transmit from the same tower site about 10 miles southwest of Huber Heights (221° SW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Huber Heights at fair strength or better, 58% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Huber Heights

The farthest main network tower for Huber Heights is WDTN (NBC), 11 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WXIX-TV (Fox), 55 miles southwest, 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.

WHIO-TV is only 10 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.
