With roughly 1,010 residents, Greenwood is a small community in Wisconsin. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 23 licensed TV transmitters: 9 full-power, 13 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 9 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 3 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 2 transmitters are within 25 miles, 6 between 25 and 45 miles, and 15 farther out. Three of the 9 network stations in range are licensed to Eau Claire, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Eau Claire's stations.

The main network towers around Greenwood are in different directions: ABC 273° W (43 mi), CBS 218° SW (59 mi) and Fox 284° WNW (54 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, WSAW-TV and WAOW, transmit from the same tower site about 46 miles east of Greenwood (77° ENE). 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 Greenwood at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Greenwood is WKBT-DT (CBS), 59 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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 9 stations at fair strength or better, Greenwood ranks 299th of 423 places in Wisconsin: fewer than the typical Wisconsin town (12). Its nearest major network tower is 19 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
