Six network stations, WJW, WEWS-TV, WOIO, WQHS-DT and WBNX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 28 miles northeast of Lodi (34° NE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lodi 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 Lodi, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Lodi is WKYC (NBC), 30 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.
