16 of them are within 25 miles of Chattanooga Valley, 2 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 12 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Huntsville, AL, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Huntsville's stations.

The farthest main network tower for Chattanooga Valley is WRCB (NBC), 16 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WZDX (Fox), 68 miles west, 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.

WELF-TV is only 8.4 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
