Over-the-air TV in Lake Mohawk
With roughly 1,650 residents, Lake Mohawk is a small community in Ohio. Our map shows 57 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 27 full-power, 7 Class A, 20 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 21 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 12 at good or strong strength.
5 of them are within 25 miles of Lake Mohawk, 14 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 38 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 20 network stations in range are licensed to Cleveland, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Cleveland's stations.
The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 33 (WYTV), CBS on channel 2 (KDKA-TV), NBC on channel 3 (WKYC), Fox on channel 27.2 (WKBN-TV), CW on channel 21.2 (WFMJ-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). 9 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 Lake Mohawk
Point your antenna NE, at about 47°. The main network towers for Lake Mohawk sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Three network stations, WYTV, WKBN-TV and WFMJ-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 40 miles northeast of Lake Mohawk (47° NE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lake Mohawk at fair strength or better, 38% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Lake Mohawk, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Lake Mohawk
The farthest main network tower for Lake Mohawk is WKBN-TV (Fox), 40 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
KDKA-TV (CBS), 63 miles east and WKYC (NBC), 56 miles northwest, 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.
