By distance, 8 transmitters are within 25 miles, 6 between 25 and 45 miles, and 19 farther out. Four of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Albany, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Albany's stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Nashville

Point your antenna W, at about 267°. The main network towers for Nashville sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WALB and WFXL, transmit from the same tower site about 37 miles west of Nashville (283° WNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Nashville at fair strength or better, 63% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Nashville

The farthest main network tower for Nashville is WFXL (Fox), 37 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WTXL-TV (ABC), 57 miles southwest, 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.

WSWG is only 7.3 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.

Setting up an antenna in Nashville: step by step

  1. Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
  2. Point it toward 283° WNW, the direction of WFXL (Fox), 37 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 12 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.
