Over-the-air TV in Greensboro

Greensboro is a town of about 3,400 people in Georgia. There are 53 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 17 full-power, 6 Class A, 28 low-power and 2 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 3 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 1 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 5 between 25 and 45 miles, and 47 farther out. Five of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Atlanta, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Atlanta's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 24.2 (WGXA), 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 58.3 (WPGA-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 (very weak signal) and Univision (weak signal). 6 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Greensboro

The main network towers around Greensboro are in different directions: ABC 201° SSW (61 mi), CBS 284° WNW (68 mi), NBC 281° W (67 mi) and Fox 283° WNW (68 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Four network stations, WMAZ-TV, WMGT-TV, WPGA-TV and WGXA, transmit from the same tower site about 61 miles south of Greensboro (201° SSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Greensboro

The farthest main network tower for Greensboro is WUPA (CBS), 68 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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 Greensboro: step by step

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.
Point it toward 284° WNW, the direction of WUPA (CBS), 68 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 3 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
