How well antenna TV works around Youngstown
For the big networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and PBS) that reach each home, an indoor antenna is likely enough for about 70% of people in the Youngstown market; about 25% need an attic or roof antenna, and for about 6% reception depends on the exact spot. A typical home gets about 38 free channels from 15 stations, some from neighbouring markets.
Estimates from our terrain predictions for an antenna about 30 ft up, adjusted for indoor use. They are not yet checked against real channel scans; VHF channels never count as indoor. How we work it out

The best TV antenna for Youngstown
Get a UHF antenna. Across most of the area an indoor antenna is likely enough (about 70% of people, by our estimate); farther out, use an attic or roof antenna.
- Every channel reaches ordinary TVs on UHF, so a UHF antenna is enough.
- The towers are spread out, so a wide-beam (multi-directional) antenna is safer than a narrow directional one.
Not sure about VHF Lower frequencies (RF 2–13). Needs an antenna with longer elements; many flat indoor antennas are weak here. More in the glossary and UHF Higher frequencies (RF 14–36). Most stations are here; almost any antenna picks it up. More in the glossary ? See the glossary. Any brand of the right type will do.
