WHIZ-TV (Fox) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Shreve. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Shreve is WHIZ-TV (Fox), 52 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 17 stations at fair strength or better, Shreve ranks 369th of 686 places in Ohio: fewer than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 34 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.

15% of Ohio's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Wooster, 9.6 miles away.
