Over-the-air TV in Woodbridge

Woodbridge is a town of about 3,980 people in California. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 63 licensed TV transmitters: 33 full-power, 6 Class A and 24 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 30 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 14 at good or strong strength.

11 of them are within 25 miles of Woodbridge, 19 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 33 are more than 45 miles out. Eight of the 22 network stations in range are licensed to Sacramento, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Sacramento's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 10 (KXTV), CBS on channel 13 (KOVR), NBC on channel 3 (KCRA-TV), Fox on channel 40 (KTXL), PBS on channel 6 (KVIE), CW on channel 58 (KQCA), ION on channel 29 (KSPX-TV), Telemundo on channel 31.7 (KMAX-TV), Univision on channel 19 (KUVS-DT) and MeTV on channel 44.3 (KPYX). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (strong signal) and Univision (good signal). 13 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 Woodbridge

Point your antenna WNW, at about 303°. The main network towers for Woodbridge sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Six network stations, KXTV, KMAX-TV, KOVR, KSPX-TV and KQCA and others, transmit from the same tower site about 12 miles northwest of Woodbridge (299° WNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 16 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Woodbridge at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Woodbridge

The farthest main network tower for Woodbridge is KVIE (PBS), 14 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

KTFK-DT is only 12 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.

Setting up an antenna in Woodbridge: step by step

  1. Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
  2. Point it toward 306° NW, the direction of KVIE (PBS), 14 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).
  4. Expect around 30 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
