Which way to point your antenna in Weaverville

Point your antenna ESE, at about 120°. The main network towers for Weaverville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KIXE-TV and KRCR-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 18 miles southeast of Weaverville (120° ESE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Weaverville at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Weaverville

The farthest main network tower for Weaverville is KRCR-TV (ABC), 18 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KNVN (NBC), 55 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 Weaverville: step by step

  1. 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.
  2. Point it toward 120° ESE, the direction of KRCR-TV (ABC), 18 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.
