Over-the-air TV in Leetonia
With roughly 1,900 residents, Leetonia is a small community in Ohio. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 62 licensed TV transmitters: 28 full-power, 10 Class A, 20 low-power and 4 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 26 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.
8 of them are within 25 miles of Leetonia, 5 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 49 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 20 network stations in range are licensed to Pittsburgh, PA, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Pittsburgh's stations.
The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 33 (WYTV), CBS on channel 2 (KDKA-TV), NBC on channel 11 (WPXI), 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 (fair signal). 10 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 Leetonia
Point your antenna NNE, at about 25°. The main network towers for Leetonia 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 14 miles northeast of Leetonia (25° NNE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 14 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Leetonia at fair strength or better, 36% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across four other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Leetonia, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Leetonia
The farthest main network tower for Leetonia is WKBN-TV (Fox), 14 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.
KDKA-TV (CBS), 47 miles southeast and WPXI (NBC), 49 miles southeast, 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.
WNEO is only 8.4 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
