Kingston is a small community of about 1,020 people in Ohio. There are 20 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 9 full-power, 5 Class A and 6 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 10 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Kingston, 16 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 4 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 7 network stations in range are licensed to Columbus, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Columbus's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 6 (WSYX), CBS on channel 10 (WBNS-TV), NBC on channel 4 (WCMH-TV), Fox on channel 18.2 (WHIZ-TV), CW on channel 53 (WWHO), ION on channel 38 (WCPX-LD) and Telemundo on channel 23.3 (WQMC-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (weak signal). 4 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 N, at about 350°. The main network towers for Kingston sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WWHO and WSYX, transmit from the same tower site about 33 miles north of Kingston (350° N). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Kingston at fair strength or better, all arrive from the north, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Kingston is WCMH-TV (NBC), 35 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WHIZ-TV (Fox), 58 miles northeast, 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 10 stations at fair strength or better, Kingston ranks 621st of 686 places in Ohio: fewer than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 33 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
