Tower/Coverage area notes:
WXIX, WLWT/WCET/WPTO, WCPO and WKRC towers are located near Downtown Cincinnati. WXIX tower a bit west of downtown, WLWT/WCET in Clifton, and WCPO/WKRC towers a Bit East of Downtown Near I-71. WLWT/WCET/WPTO share the same tower, WBQC-LD broadcasts from WCPO's tower. Info on WDYC-LD most recent Construction permit indicates they transmit from WKRC tower.
WSTR tower is a few Miles North of Downtown, WCVN tower is in Taylor Mill KY.
For the most part, the Cincinnati/N KY area stations generally have around a 55-65 Mile radius coverage area, exceptions being:
WCVN (General Coverage area around 30~45 Miles or so) and The Low power stations, whose coverage area varies greatly depending upon their purpose .. The KET LP translators for instance are designed to serve very small areas which aren't covered well by the Full Power KET stations, while WBQC-LD coverage area reaches out 30~45 miles or so ....

Since Dayton TV/DTV/HD stations are also often receivable from Cincinnati area and vice versa, Dayton/Cincinnati area folks may also find the Dayton Thread on AVSforum useful, it is located here :
