With roughly 2,270 residents, Wilberforce is a small community in Ohio. Our map shows 41 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 22 full-power, 6 Class A, 11 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 23 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 16 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 10 transmitters are within 25 miles, 1 between 25 and 45 miles, and 30 farther out. Five of the 17 network stations in range are licensed to Columbus, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Columbus's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 22 (WKEF), CBS on channel 7 (WHIO-TV), NBC on channel 2 (WDTN), Fox on channel 19 (WXIX-TV), CW on channel 26 (WBDT), ION on channel 43 (WKOI-TV) and Telemundo on channel 23.3 (WQMC-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 9 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna W, at about 272°. The main network towers for Wilberforce sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WHIO-TV, WKEF, WDTN, WKOI-TV and WBDT, transmit from the same tower site about 20 miles west of Wilberforce (274° W). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Wilberforce at fair strength or better, 42% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Wilberforce is WDTN (NBC), 20 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WXIX-TV (Fox), 54 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.
