TV channels & antenna towers in Lookout Mountain, Georgia

With roughly 1,580 residents, Lookout Mountain is a small community in Georgia. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 30 licensed TV transmitters: 14 full-power, 6 Class A and 10 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 21 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 9 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 15 transmitters are within 25 miles, 3 between 25 and 45 miles, and 12 farther out. Five of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Huntsville, AL, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Huntsville's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 9 (WTVC), CBS on channel 12 (WDEF-TV), NBC on channel 3 (WRCB), Fox on channel 54 (WZDX), CW on channel 53 (WFLI-TV), ION on channel 14 (WPXA-TV), Telemundo on channel 29 (WTHV-LD) and Trinity on channel 23 (WELF-TV). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 4 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 N, at about 10°. The main network towers for Lookout Mountain sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WDEF-TV, WTVC, WFLI-TV and WRCB, transmit from the same tower site about 11 miles north of Lookout Mountain (10° N). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 10 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Lookout Mountain at fair strength or better, 40% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Lookout Mountain is WRCB (NBC), 13 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WZDX (Fox), 69 miles west, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

WELF-TV is only 11 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.

With 21 stations at fair strength or better, Lookout Mountain ranks 84th of 386 places in Georgia: more than the typical Georgia town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 11 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.
