Over-the-air TV in Lindale

With roughly 4,190 residents, Lindale is a town in Georgia. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 47 licensed TV transmitters: 21 full-power, 7 Class A, 18 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 14 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 12 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Lindale, 4 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 42 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 14 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 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 23 (WELF-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (good signal). 8 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 Lindale

Point your antenna ESE, at about 120°. The main network towers for Lindale 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 55 miles southeast of Lindale (118° ESE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lindale at fair strength or better, 78% arrive from the southeast; 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 Lindale. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Lindale

The farthest main network tower for Lindale is WXIA-TV (NBC), 57 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.

Setting up an antenna in Lindale: step by step

  1. 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.
  2. Point it toward 121° ESE, the direction of WXIA-TV (NBC), 57 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).
  4. Expect around 14 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
  5. Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
