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

The farthest main network tower for Ravenna is WKBN-TV (Fox), 32 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.

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 23 stations at fair strength or better, Ravenna ranks 118th of 686 places in Ohio: more than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 20 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
