Which way to point your antenna in College Park

Point your antenna NE, at about 35°. The main network towers for College Park sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WAGA-TV, WUPA, WUVG-DT and WPCH-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 12 miles northeast of College Park (34° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach College Park at fair strength or better, 89% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for College Park

The farthest main network tower for College Park is WUPA (CBS), 12 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

WHSG-TV is only 8.1 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.

  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
