TV channels & antenna towers in Tuskegee, Alabama

Tuskegee is a town of about 8,820 people in Alabama. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 46 licensed TV transmitters: 16 full-power, 2 Class A and 28 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 22 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 3 transmitters are within 25 miles, 24 between 25 and 45 miles, and 19 farther out. Four of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Montgomery, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Montgomery's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 32 (WNCF), CBS on channel 3 (WRBL), NBC on channel 12 (WSFA), Fox on channel 20 (WCOV-TV), CW on channel 22 (WBMM), Telemundo on channel 15 (WBXM-CD) and Trinity on channel 45 (WMCF-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 6 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 SW, at about 222°. The main network towers for Tuskegee sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WSFA and WCOV-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 42 miles southwest of Tuskegee (222° SW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Tuskegee at fair strength or better, 40% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Tuskegee is WCOV-TV (Fox), 42 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WNCF (ABC), 66 miles west and WRBL (CBS), 53 miles east, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for those.

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 22 stations at fair strength or better, Tuskegee ranks 56th of 314 places in Alabama: more than the typical Alabama town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 29 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 Auburn, 18 miles away.
