Which way to point your antenna in Doraville

Point your antenna SSW, at about 203°. The main network towers for Doraville 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 7.1 miles southwest of Doraville (207° SSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Doraville at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Doraville

The farthest main network tower for Doraville is WSB-TV (ABC), 10 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WUPA is only 7.1 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.

  2. Point it toward 206° SSW, the direction of WSB-TV (ABC), 10 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).
