Two network stations, WLTZ and WXTX, transmit from the same tower site about 68 miles southeast of Wedowee (149° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

WGWW (ABC) and WXTX (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Wedowee. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Wedowee is WXTX (Fox), 68 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

With 4 stations at fair strength or better, Wedowee ranks 310th of 314 places in Alabama: fewer than the typical Alabama town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 58 miles away, against a state median of 22 miles.

28% of Alabama's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Oxford, 29 miles away.
