Over-the-air TV in Morgandale

Morgandale is a small community of about 1,220 people in Ohio. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 53 licensed TV transmitters: 27 full-power, 4 Class A, 19 low-power and 3 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 17 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 11 at good or strong strength.

6 of them are within 25 miles of Morgandale, 9 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 38 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 21 network stations in range are licensed to Cleveland, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Cleveland's stations.

For the networks, the best local options 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). 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 Morgandale

Point your antenna SSE, at about 154°. The main network towers for Morgandale sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WFMJ-TV, WYTV and WKBN-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 15 miles southeast of Morgandale (150° SSE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Morgandale at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Morgandale

The farthest main network tower for Morgandale is WKBN-TV (Fox), 16 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WOIO (CBS), 49 miles west and WKYC (NBC), 48 miles west, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

WFMJ-TV is only 15 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 154° SSE, the direction of WKBN-TV (Fox), 16 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).
