TV channels & antenna towers in Dallas, Georgia

Dallas is a town of about 12,900 people in Georgia. There are 42 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 15 full-power, 7 Class A, 19 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 20 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 11 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 2 transmitters are within 25 miles, 30 between 25 and 45 miles, and 10 farther out. Five of the 9 network stations in range are licensed to Atlanta, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Atlanta's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 2 (WSB-TV), CBS on channel 69 (WUPA), NBC on channel 11 (WXIA-TV), Fox on channel 5 (WAGA-TV), CW on channel 17 (WPCH-TV), ION on channel 14 (WPXA-TV), Telemundo on channel 47 (WKTB-CD), Univision on channel 34 (WUVG-DT) and Trinity on channel 63 (WHSG-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (weak signal) and Univision (good signal). 7 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna ESE, at about 109°. The main network towers for Dallas 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 30 miles east of Dallas (105° ESE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

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

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

The farthest main network tower for Dallas is WXIA-TV (NBC), 31 miles away with a fair 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.

With 20 stations at fair strength or better, Dallas ranks 91st of 386 places in Georgia: more than the typical Georgia town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 29 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.

37% of Georgia's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Douglasville, 13 miles away.
