Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 17 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of High Point, 6 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 38 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 16 network stations in range are licensed to Tampa, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Tampa's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in High Point

Point your antenna SSE, at about 162°. The main network towers for High Point sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

11 network stations, WEDU, WVEA-TV, WRMD-CD, WTTA and WFTS-TV and others, transmit from the same tower site about 51 miles south of High Point (162° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 11 full-power and Class A network signals that reach High Point at fair strength or better, 91% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for High Point

The farthest main network tower for High Point is WTVT (Fox), 53 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.

  2. Point it toward 161° SSE, the direction of WTVT (Fox), 53 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 17 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.
