Over-the-air TV in Wynne

Wynne is a town of about 8,190 people in Arkansas. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 29 licensed TV transmitters: 13 full-power, 2 Class A, 13 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 13 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Wynne, 1 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 28 are more than 45 miles out. Seven of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Memphis, TN, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Memphis's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 24 (WATN-TV), CBS on channel 3 (WREG-TV), NBC on channel 5 (WMC-TV), Fox on channel 13 (WHBQ-TV), CW on channel 8.3 (KAIT), ION on channel 50 (WPXX-TV), Telemundo on channel 14 (WTME-LD) and Trinity on channel 40 (WBUY-TV). 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.

Which way to point your antenna in Wynne

Point your antenna E, at about 92°. The main network towers for Wynne 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 57 miles east of Wynne (86° E). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Wynne at fair strength or better, 88% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Wynne

The farthest main network tower for Wynne is WATN-TV (ABC), 57 miles away with a good 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.

Setting up an antenna in Wynne: step by step

  1. Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
  2. Point it toward 86° E, the direction of WATN-TV (ABC), 57 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).

  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
