Over-the-air TV in Lagrange

Lagrange is a small community of about 2,100 people in Ohio. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 35 licensed TV transmitters: 15 full-power, 3 Class A, 14 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 20 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.

14 of them are within 25 miles of Lagrange, 13 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 8 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 8 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 8 (WJW), 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 (fair 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.

Which way to point your antenna in Lagrange

Point your antenna ENE, at about 66°. The main network towers for Lagrange sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Six network stations, WJW, WEWS-TV, WOIO, WQHS-DT and WBNX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 23 miles northeast of Lagrange (67° ENE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lagrange at fair strength or better, 86% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Lagrange

The farthest main network tower for Lagrange is WKYC (NBC), 25 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.

How Lagrange compares with the rest of Ohio

With 20 stations at fair strength or better, Lagrange ranks 219th of 686 places in Ohio: more than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 23 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 Elyria, 9.1 miles away.

Setting up an antenna in Lagrange: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 65° ENE, the direction of WKYC (NBC), 25 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.

Frequently asked questions

What channel is ABC in Lagrange, OH?

ABC is on channel 5 from WEWS-TV, broadcasting from 23 miles ENE of Lagrange. Estimated signal: strong.

What channel is CBS in Lagrange, OH?

CBS is on channel 19 from WOIO, broadcasting from 23 miles ENE of Lagrange. Estimated signal: fair.

What channel is NBC in Lagrange, OH?

NBC is on channel 3 from WKYC, broadcasting from 25 miles ENE of Lagrange. Estimated signal: strong.

What channel is Fox in Lagrange, OH?

Fox is on channel 8 from WJW, broadcasting from 23 miles ENE of Lagrange. Estimated signal: fair.

What channel is CW in Lagrange, OH?

CW is on channel 55 from WBNX-TV, broadcasting from 24 miles ENE of Lagrange. Estimated signal: good.

How many channels can I get with an antenna in Lagrange?

35 transmitters within 70 miles of Lagrange; around 20 of them are likely to be receivable with amplified indoor or attic antenna. Each station usually carries several subchannels, so the total channel count after a scan is higher.

Which direction should I point my TV antenna in Lagrange?

Point your antenna ENE, at about 66°. The main network towers for Lagrange sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

What kind of antenna do I need in Lagrange?

Amplified indoor or attic antenna (25–45 miles). Towers are at medium range. An amplified indoor antenna can work; an attic-mounted antenna is the safer choice.

Do I need an antenna amplifier in Lagrange?

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.

Is there an app to find TV towers in Lagrange?

Yes. The free RCA Signal Finder app for iPhone and Android uses your phone's GPS and compass to show which way each tower is from where you stand.
