Which way to point your antenna in Nice

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Nice, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Nice

The farthest main network tower for Nice is K31GK-D, 13 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

K15FJ-D, 7.1 miles southeast, 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.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.

Setting up an antenna in Nice: step by step

Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
Point it toward 268° W, the direction of K31GK-D, 13 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 5 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.
