Which way to point your antenna in Odenville

Point your antenna WSW, at about 241°. The main network towers for Odenville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Seven network stations, WVTM-TV, WTBM-CD, WBRC, WIAT and WPXH-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 26 miles southwest of Odenville (241° WSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

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

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Odenville

The farthest main network tower for Odenville is WABM (ABC), 27 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WTJP-TV is only 10.0 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.

Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
