Which way to point your antenna in Maryvale
Point your antenna SSE, at about 150°. The main network towers for Maryvale sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Ten network stations, KSAZ-TV, KAET, KPNX, KPAZ-TV and KTVW-DT and others, transmit from the same tower site about 13 miles southeast of Maryvale (150° SSE). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Maryvale at fair strength or better, all arrive from the southeast, so this is an easy place to aim.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Maryvale, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Maryvale
The farthest main network tower for Maryvale is KNXV-TV (ABC), 13 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
KPNX is only 13 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.
