Five network stations, WLTX, WIS, WACH, WKTC and WOLO-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 20 miles northwest of Cherryvale (299° WNW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Cherryvale at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Cherryvale

The farthest main network tower for Cherryvale is WACH (Fox), 21 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.

  2. Point it toward 302° WNW, the direction of WACH (Fox), 21 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
