Which way to point your antenna in Medulla

11 network stations, WTVT, WEDU, WVEA-TV, WRMD-CD and WTTA and others, transmit from the same tower site about 19 miles southwest of Medulla (238° WSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Medulla

The farthest main network tower for Medulla is WTSP (CBS), 20 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.
