Whitehall, Ohio has a population of about 18,700. Our map shows 23 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 10 full-power, 6 Class A, 6 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 18 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 14 at good or strong strength.

16 of them are within 25 miles of Whitehall, 1 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 6 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 7 network stations in range are licensed to Columbus, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Columbus's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 6 (WSYX), CBS on channel 10 (WBNS-TV), NBC on channel 4 (WCMH-TV), Fox on channel 18.2 (WHIZ-TV), CW on channel 53 (WWHO), ION on channel 38 (WCPX-LD) and Telemundo on channel 23.3 (WQMC-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal). 5 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Whitehall

Point your antenna W, at about 266°. The main network towers for Whitehall sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WWHO and WSYX, transmit from the same tower site about 7.5 miles west of Whitehall (254° WSW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Whitehall at fair strength or better, 80% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Whitehall

The farthest main network tower for Whitehall is WCMH-TV (NBC), 7.5 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WHIZ-TV (Fox), 48 miles east, 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.

WWHO is only 7.5 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.

Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.

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

Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
