Which way to point your antenna in Mulberry

Point your antenna WSW, at about 256°. The main network towers for Mulberry sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

11 network stations, WTVT, WTTA, WFTS-TV, WFLA-TV and WEDU and others, transmit from the same tower site about 17 miles west of Mulberry (252° WSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 13 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Mulberry at fair strength or better, 85% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Mulberry

The farthest main network tower for Mulberry is WTSP (CBS), 18 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.
