TV channels & antenna towers in Oak Harbor, Ohio

With roughly 2,720 residents, Oak Harbor is a town in Ohio. Our map shows 31 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 17 full-power, 5 Class A, 7 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 10 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 4 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 7 transmitters are within 25 miles, 1 between 25 and 45 miles, and 23 farther out. Five of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Detroit, MI, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Detroit's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 7 (WXYZ-TV), CBS on channel 11 (WTOL), NBC on channel 24 (WNWO-TV), Fox on channel 36 (WUPW), CW on channel 13.2 (WTVG) and ION on channel 31 (WPXD-TV). 7 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna NW, at about 311°. The main network towers for Oak Harbor sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WNWO-TV and WTOL, transmit from the same tower site about 16 miles northwest of Oak Harbor (316° NW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Oak Harbor at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northwest, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Oak Harbor is WUPW (Fox), 19 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WXYZ-TV (ABC), 67 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.

With 10 stations at fair strength or better, Oak Harbor ranks 621st of 686 places in Ohio: fewer than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 16 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
