Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 20 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.

14 of them are within 25 miles of South Bloomfield, 3 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 14 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Columbus, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Columbus's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 6 (WSYX), CBS on channel 10 (WBNS-TV), NBC on channel 4 (WCMH-TV), Fox on channel 18.2 (WHIZ-TV), CW on channel 53 (WWHO), ION on channel 38 (WCPX-LD) and Telemundo on channel 23.3 (WQMC-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal). 6 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 N, at about 353°. The main network towers for South Bloomfield sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WWHO and WSYX, transmit from the same tower site about 15 miles north of South Bloomfield (353° N). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach South Bloomfield at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for South Bloomfield is WCMH-TV (NBC), 18 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WHIZ-TV (Fox), 55 miles east, 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 20 stations at fair strength or better, South Bloomfield ranks 219th of 686 places in Ohio: more than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 15 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
