TV channels & antenna towers in Hiram, Georgia

Hiram is a town of about 3,790 people in Georgia. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 42 licensed TV transmitters: 15 full-power, 7 Class A, 19 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 25 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 12 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 22 transmitters are within 25 miles, 11 between 25 and 45 miles, and 9 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 (fair signal) and Univision (strong 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 105°. The main network towers for Hiram 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 25 miles east of Hiram (101° E). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Hiram at fair strength or better, 89% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Hiram is WXIA-TV (NBC), 26 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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 25 stations at fair strength or better, Hiram ranks 62nd of 386 places in Georgia: more than the typical Georgia town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 24 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, 8.6 miles away.
