Point your antenna ESE, at about 113°. The main network towers for Freeport sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WMBB and WJHG-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 46 miles east of Freeport (103° ESE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Freeport at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Freeport is WPGX (Fox), 37 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WJHG-TV (NBC), 46 miles east, 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.
