Antenna and amplifier advice for Turpin Hills

The farthest main network tower for Turpin Hills is WHIO-TV (CBS), 44 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.

WCPO-TV is only 6.5 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.
