I remember seeing a lot of very tall antenna towers for reception in the Southeast Ohio area (Athens, Marietta, etc.) The nearest commercial stations were in Huntington WVa. and Columbus, Ohio. When I lived there in an apartment during college I refused to pay for cable TV, I really didn't have the money. The only local signal there is WOUB, Public Television. That is ALL you could pick up without an antenna on a big tower. It was real surprising, kind of a shock to the senses to see commercial television when I'd catch a glimpse of it...some of my friends were cable-free too.
Probably a lot of people in the cable-free areas of SE ohio now are using direct-tv satellite dishes for TV reception, especially in new houses, where they don't want to erect the huge towers needed to pull in TV signals from many miles away.
