Which way to point your antenna in Webb
Point your antenna WSW, at about 249°. The main network towers for Webb sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, WMBB and WJHG-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 63 miles south of Webb (186° S). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Webb at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Webb, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Webb
The farthest main network tower for Webb is WDFX-TV (Fox), 20 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.
WJHG-TV (NBC), 63 miles south, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is 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 that one.
WDHN is only 2.7 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.

- Point it toward 260° W, the direction of WDFX-TV (Fox), 20 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
- Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
- Expect around 7 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
- Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
