TV antenna’s are back in fashion again. No, not the large behemoth metal poles that you had to install in the roof back in the 1970’s, but inexpensive indoor ones that are paper thin and attach to the back of your TV set. Amazon and Walmart now sell dozen’s of models with many of them under $20.00. Installation is simple. You connect the cable and rescan your television. Many of the antennas are so small and thin that you can hide them behind your television and never see them.

So what you do get? Free TV. Dozen’s of channels. However the most important channel is WHIO-TV Channel 7. Without paying one dime you can watch News Center 7, get the latest forecast, watch CBS and NFL programming and never be in the dark on local news. No cable or satellite required.

Another way to watch Channel 7 is to subscribe to CBS All Access. Channel 7 is provided as a live feed. Or you can get News Center 7 content on demand from our app on your smart TV or streaming device.
