TV channels & antenna towers in Dora, Alabama

Dora is a small community of about 1,960 people in Alabama. There are 34 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 12 full-power, 5 Class A, 15 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 21 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 17 transmitters are within 25 miles, 9 between 25 and 45 miles, and 8 farther out. Six of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Birmingham, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Birmingham's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 68.2 (WABM), CBS on channel 42 (WIAT), NBC on channel 13 (WVTM-TV), Fox on channel 6 (WBRC), CW on channel 21 (WTTO), ION on channel 44 (WPXH-TV), Telemundo on channel 24 (WTBM-CD) and Trinity on channel 60 (WTJP-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal). 3 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna SE, at about 135°. The main network towers for Dora sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Seven network stations, WABM, WTTO, WIAT, WPXH-TV and WTBM-CD and others, transmit from the same tower site about 23 miles southeast of Dora (136° SE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Dora at fair strength or better, 70% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across two other directions.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Dora, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Dora is WVTM-TV (NBC), 24 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.

With 21 stations at fair strength or better, Dora ranks 72nd of 314 places in Alabama: more than the typical Alabama town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 23 miles away, against a state median of 22 miles.

43% of Alabama's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Birmingham, 22 miles away.
