By distance, 4 transmitters are within 25 miles, 4 between 25 and 45 miles, and 24 farther out. Seven of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Memphis, TN, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Memphis's stations.

Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 5 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 SSE, at about 149°. The main network towers for Monette sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WATN-TV, WBUY-TV and WLMT, transmit from the same tower site about 53 miles southeast of Monette (143° SE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Monette at fair strength or better, 78% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WREG-TV (CBS), WMC-TV (NBC) and WHBQ-TV (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Monette. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Monette is WHBQ-TV (Fox), 57 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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 15 stations at fair strength or better, Monette ranks 60th of 214 places in Arkansas: more than the typical Arkansas town (10). Its nearest major network tower is 18 miles away, against a state median of 29 miles.

50% of Arkansas's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Paragould, 14 miles away.
