Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 16 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 13 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 0 transmitters are within 25 miles, 24 between 25 and 45 miles, and 15 farther out. Five of the 15 network stations in range are licensed to Columbus, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Columbus's stations.

Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 8 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around West Liberty are in different directions: CBS 117° ESE (43 mi), NBC 117° ESE (43 mi) and Fox 332° NNW (41 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Five network stations, WHIO-TV, WKEF, WDTN, WKOI-TV and WBDT, transmit from the same tower site about 44 miles southwest of West Liberty (216° SW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach West Liberty at fair strength or better, 45% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for West Liberty is WCMH-TV (NBC), 43 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WKEF (ABC), 45 miles southwest, 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 16 stations at fair strength or better, West Liberty ranks 462nd of 686 places in Ohio: fewer than the typical Ohio town (18). Its nearest major network tower is 33 miles away, against a state median of 16 miles.
