Which way to point your antenna in Acres Green
Point your antenna WNW, at about 299°. The main network towers for Acres Green sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Five network stations, KUSA, KMGH-TV, KCNC-TV, KDVR and KWGN-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 22 miles northwest of Acres Green (304° NW). That one direction covers every station on the site.
Of the 16 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Acres Green at fair strength or better, 38% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across four other directions.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Acres Green, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Acres Green
The farthest main network tower for Acres Green is KBDI-TV (PBS), 33 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.
KOAA-TV (NBC), 56 miles south, 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.
