Point your antenna WSW, at about 240°. The main network towers for Commerce sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WUPA, WUVG-DT, WPCH-TV and WAGA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 57 miles southwest of Commerce (242° WSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Commerce at fair strength or better, 75% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WSB-TV (ABC), WUPA (CBS), WXIA-TV (NBC) and WAGA-TV (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Commerce. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Commerce is WSB-TV (ABC), 60 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.

With 17 stations at fair strength or better, Commerce ranks 140th of 386 places in Georgia: more than the typical Georgia town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 28 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.
