Which way to point your antenna in Sugarcreek

The main network towers around Sugarcreek are in different directions: ABC 53° NE (65 mi), CBS 356° N (61 mi), NBC 358° N (61 mi) and Fox 205° SSW (44 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Six network stations, WJW, WEWS-TV, WOIO, WQHS-DT and WBNX-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 60 miles north of Sugarcreek (356° N). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Sugarcreek at fair strength or better, 63% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WYTV (ABC), WOIO (CBS), WKYC (NBC) and WHIZ-TV (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Sugarcreek. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Sugarcreek

The farthest main network tower for Sugarcreek is WYTV (ABC), 65 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.

Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
