Over-the-air TV in Marysville

Marysville, Ohio has a population of about 22,800. Our map shows 41 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 18 full-power, 10 Class A, 11 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 24 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 5 transmitters are within 25 miles, 13 between 25 and 45 miles, and 23 farther out. Five of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Columbus, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Columbus's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 6 (WSYX), CBS on channel 10 (WBNS-TV), NBC on channel 4 (WCMH-TV), Fox on channel 8.2 (WLIO), CW on channel 53 (WWHO), ION on channel 43 (WKOI-TV) and Telemundo on channel 23.3 (WQMC-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal). 8 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 Marysville

Point your antenna SE, at about 136°. The main network towers for Marysville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WCMH-TV and WBNS-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 26 miles southeast of Marysville (136° SE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

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

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Marysville

The farthest main network tower for Marysville is WSYX (ABC), 28 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WLIO (Fox), 54 miles northwest, 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.

  2. Point it toward 138° SE, the direction of WSYX (ABC), 28 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
