Over-the-air TV in Cuthbert

With roughly 3,670 residents, Cuthbert is a town in Georgia. Our map shows 35 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 13 full-power, 1 Class A and 21 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 9 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 4 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Cuthbert, 9 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 25 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Albany, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Albany's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Cuthbert

The main network towers around Cuthbert are in different directions: ABC 220° SW (48 mi), CBS 360° N (38 mi) and Fox 354° N (48 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Two network stations, WTVM and WRBL, transmit from the same tower site about 38 miles north of Cuthbert (360° N). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Cuthbert at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across two other directions.

WDHN (ABC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Cuthbert. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Cuthbert

The farthest main network tower for Cuthbert is WXTX (Fox), 48 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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.

Setting up an antenna in Cuthbert: step by step

  1. Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
  2. Point it toward 354° N, the direction of WXTX (Fox), 48 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
  3. Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
  4. Expect around 9 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
