With roughly 9,130 residents, Louisville is a town in Ohio. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 50 licensed TV transmitters: 24 full-power, 3 Class A, 18 low-power and 5 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 21 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 16 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 9 transmitters are within 25 miles, 21 between 25 and 45 miles, and 20 farther out. Five of the 17 network stations in range are licensed to Cleveland, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Cleveland's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 33 (WYTV), CBS on channel 19 (WOIO), 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.

The main network towers around Louisville are in different directions: ABC 65° ENE (35 mi), CBS 328° NNW (44 mi), NBC 330° NNW (44 mi) and Fox 65° ENE (35 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Six network stations, WJW, WKYC, WBNX-TV, WEWS-TV and WQHS-DT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 43 miles northwest of Louisville (327° NNW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Louisville at fair strength or better, 64% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Louisville is WOIO (CBS), 44 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

With 21 stations at fair strength or better, Louisville ranks 181st of 686 places in Ohio: more than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 23 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 Canton, 6.8 miles away.
