Indiana 9 Southern Indiana's Source for News, Weather, Sports and Information

Indiana 9 has a good signal that covers much of the Southern Indana and Greater Louisville area.

	The signal reaches easily from 28 miles in a circle from Floyds Knobs, Indiana (Tower farm).
	Take a look at the WVHF 9 signal www.indiana9.com/coverage_map

Indiana 9 is on cable in Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Washington, Scott counties.
Indiana on Insight Communications.
Basic Channel 98 ( You may have to add channel 98 to your set )
(We are not presently available on the Louisville, Kentucky district, so you must watch over the air in Kentucky)

Indiana 9 is not available on Direct TV or Dish Network because neither provider is willing to place us on the system.
You should contact the customer service of your satellite provider and ask them to add Indiana 9 to their local station line-up. Otherwise we suggest you consider adding an antenna or getting local cable in order to watch Southern Indiana's only local TV station.

So for now you will have to tune to the over-the-air channel 9.

You will need at least a simple indoor antenna.

And you will have to change your TV menus to receive the free over-the-air channels.

What kind of antenna will I need?

Any area which is within 16 to 18 miles can potentialy use a simple set top VHF antenna to receive WVHF 9.

The red and blue areas also get good signal but may require better or outdoor antennas.

You can check to see if you can receive channel 9 on a small portable TV that has a built in antenna.

Or Radio Shack will let you try their set top antennas at home and then return them if they don't work for you.

If you can't get the station with a portable TV or if a set top antenna doesn't work for you, go to http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx to find out what antenna you might need and which direction to point it.

That web site will give you a map of your neighborhood and show all the free TV stations that can be received at your house.

How to change your TV to receive free over-the-air stations

Cable channel 9 is not the same frequency as over-the-air (VHF) Channel 9.

But all TV's can be programmed to tune to the desired frequency band.

In the setup menus of your TV there is a place where you can choose whether the TV will tune CATV/Cable frequencies or Off-air/Antenna frequencies Older TV's, without menus, may have a mechanical switch to do this instead.

If you have a cable converter box your TV can be left permanently in the Antenna mode without hurting cable reception.

If you use a Cable Ready TV instead of a converter box, you will have to change this setting back to CATV/Cable when you want to watch cable.

Note: If you don't have Cable, your TV must be set to Off-air/Antenna frequencies or your channel display will give the wrong channel numbers.

The last thing you have to do is connect the antenna.
