Over-the-air TV in Nahunta
With roughly 1,060 residents, Nahunta is a small community in Georgia. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 33 licensed TV transmitters: 14 full-power, 2 Class A and 17 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 6 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 1 at good or strong strength.
2 of them are within 25 miles of Nahunta, 3 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 28 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Jacksonville, FL, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Jacksonville's stations.
The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 25 (WJXX), CBS on channel 11 (WTOC-TV), NBC on channel 12 (WTLV), Fox on channel 28 (WTGS), PBS on channel 7 (WJCT), CW on channel 17 (WCWJ), ION on channel 21 (WPXC-TV) and Trinity on channel 59 (WJEB-TV). 4 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 Nahunta
The main network towers around Nahunta are in different directions: ABC 158° SSE (69 mi), CBS 32° NNE (69 mi), NBC 158° SSE (69 mi), Fox 33° NNE (69 mi) and PBS 159° SSE (68 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.
Seven network stations, WFOX-TV, WJAX-TV, WJCT, WJEB-TV and WJXX and others, transmit from the same tower site about 68 miles south of Nahunta (159° SSE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Nahunta at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.
WJXX (ABC), WTOC-TV (CBS), WTLV (NBC), WTGS (Fox) and WJCT (PBS) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Nahunta. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Nahunta
The farthest main network tower for Nahunta is WTOC-TV (CBS), 69 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.
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 Nahunta: 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 32° NNE, the direction of WTOC-TV (CBS), 69 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 6 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.
