Six network stations, WKYC, WBNX-TV, WQHS-DT, WOIO and WEWS-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 13 miles southwest of South Euclid (223° SW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach South Euclid at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

Antenna and amplifier advice for South Euclid
The farthest main network tower for South Euclid is WEWS-TV (ABC), 15 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.
WKBN-TV (Fox), 56 miles southeast, 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.
WKYC is only 13 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
