The Indianapolis, IN market, is positioned in the center of the state, but since the digital conversion, stations have trouble reaching the outer areas of the state. The analog signals of the major Indianapolis market could reach into areas at least with a grade B or C signal, whereas the digital signal has a grade A or nothing probability of receiving a signal.
Click on the coverage area of each station and if you fall within the circular coverage area, you'll have a better chance of receiving the station you're seeking. Even from within the coverage area, your reception will depend on your antenna placement, your antenna's directionality, and your area's geography.
The Indianapolis stations have begun the transition to Next Gen TV, or ATSC 3.0. They have a cooperative transmitter point on the tower previously broadcasting WTTK that was licensed to Kokomo, Indiana. The tower is located in the northwestern tower farm area of Indianapolis giving the metro a Grade A signal and just barely reaching Kokomo with a Grade A signal.
