TV channels & antenna towers in Lisbon, Ohio

Lisbon is a town of about 2,730 people in Ohio. There are 62 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 28 full-power, 10 Class A, 20 low-power and 4 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 27 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 11 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 8 transmitters are within 25 miles, 10 between 25 and 45 miles, and 44 farther 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.

For the networks, the best local options 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.

The main network towers around Lisbon are in different directions: ABC 18° NNE (21 mi), CBS 116° ESE (44 mi) and Fox 18° NNE (21 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WYTV, WKBN-TV and WFMJ-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 21 miles north of Lisbon (18° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 16 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lisbon at fair strength or better, 38% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Lisbon is KDKA-TV (CBS), 44 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WPXI (NBC), 45 miles southeast, 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.

WNEO is only 12 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.

With 27 stations at fair strength or better, Lisbon ranks 11th of 686 places in Ohio: more than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 21 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 Boardman, 18 miles away.
