TV channels & antenna towers in Homer, Georgia

With roughly 1,140 residents, Homer is a small community in Georgia. Our map shows 54 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 14 full-power, 5 Class A, 20 low-power and 15 translators. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 16 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 2 at good or strong strength.

6 of them are within 25 miles of Homer, 5 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 43 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 10 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), MeTV on channel 32.1 (WGTA) and Trinity on channel 63 (WHSG-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (fair signal). 5 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 SW, at about 232°. The main network towers for Homer 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 60 miles southwest of Homer (233° SW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

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

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

The farthest main network tower for Homer is WSB-TV (ABC), 63 miles away with a fair 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.

With 16 stations at fair strength or better, Homer ranks 161st of 386 places in Georgia: more than the typical Georgia town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 20 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.

34% of Georgia's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Gainesville, 19 miles away.
