Which way to point your antenna in New Richmond

Three network stations, WKRC-TV, WCPO-TV and WLWT, transmit from the same tower site about 17 miles northwest of New Richmond (314° NW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach New Richmond at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from New Richmond, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for New Richmond
The farthest main network tower for New Richmond is WXIX-TV (Fox), 19 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.
WHIO-TV (CBS), 54 miles north, 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.
