TV channels & antenna towers in Huron, Ohio

Huron, Ohio has a population of about 7,020. There are 37 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 19 full-power, 3 Class A, 14 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 8 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Huron, 14 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 22 are more than 45 miles 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.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 5 (WEWS-TV), CBS on channel 19 (WOIO), NBC on channel 3 (WKYC), Fox on channel 36 (WUPW), 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). 8 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna E, at about 91°. The main network towers for Huron sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Six network stations, WOIO, WEWS-TV, WJW, WQHS-DT and WBNX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 43 miles east of Huron (91° E). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Huron at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Huron is WKYC (NBC), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WUPW (Fox), 49 miles west, 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.

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.

With 17 stations at fair strength or better, Huron ranks 369th of 686 places in Ohio: fewer than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 43 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
