Within 70 miles of the town center we count 39 licensed TV transmitters: 19 full-power, 3 Class A, 14 low-power and 3 translators.

3 of them are within 25 miles of Tuscarawas, 9 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 27 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 14 network stations in range are licensed to Youngstown, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Youngstown's stations.

WOIO (CBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Tuscarawas. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Tuscarawas is WOIO (CBS), 70 miles away with a very weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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 14 stations at fair strength or better, Tuscarawas ranks 509th of 686 places in Ohio: fewer than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 42 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 Canton, 28 miles away.
