10 of them are within 25 miles of Moraine, 9 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 19 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 16 network stations in range are licensed to Cincinnati, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Cincinnati's stations.

Five network stations, WDTN, WKOI-TV, WBDT, WKEF and WHIO-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 2.1 miles northwest of Moraine (294° WNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Moraine at fair strength or better, 56% 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 Moraine, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Moraine

The farthest main network tower for Moraine is WXIX-TV (Fox), 44 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.

WPTD is only 1.9 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.

  2. Point it toward 204° SSW, the direction of WXIX-TV (Fox), 44 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).
  4. Expect around 17 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
