TV channels & antenna towers in Kalida, Ohio

Kalida, Ohio has a population of about 1,560. Our map shows 36 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 15 full-power, 7 Class A, 11 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 13 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 3 at good or strong strength.

6 of them are within 25 miles of Kalida, 5 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 25 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Fort Wayne, IN, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Fort Wayne's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 35 (WOHL-CD), CBS on channel 15 (WANE-TV), NBC on channel 24 (WNWO-TV), Fox on channel 8.2 (WLIO) and CW on channel 33 (WISE-TV). 6 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 SSE, at about 164°. The main network towers for Kalida sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WLIO and WOHL-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 15 miles south of Kalida (164° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Kalida at fair strength or better, 50% 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 Kalida, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Kalida is WLIO (Fox), 15 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WANE-TV (CBS), 52 miles west and WNWO-TV (NBC), 64 miles northeast, 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.

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 13 stations at fair strength or better, Kalida ranks 538th of 686 places in Ohio: fewer than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 15 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.

58% of Ohio's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Lima, 17 miles away.
