Seven network stations, WBME-CD, WDJT-TV, WISN-TV, WVTV and WTMJ-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 42 miles southeast of Horicon (123° ESE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Horicon at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Horicon is WITI (Fox), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WWRS-TV is only 5.4 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.

With 17 stations at fair strength or better, Horicon ranks 151st of 423 places in Wisconsin: more than the typical Wisconsin town (12). Its nearest major network tower is 5.4 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.
