Which way to point your antenna in Lewisburg

Point your antenna ESE, at about 119°. The main network towers for Lewisburg sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WKEF, WHIO-TV, WKOI-TV, WBDT and WDTN, transmit from the same tower site about 17 miles southeast of Lewisburg (119° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lewisburg at fair strength or better, 56% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Lewisburg

The farthest main network tower for Lewisburg is WDTN (NBC), 17 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WXIX-TV (Fox), 50 miles south, 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.
