With roughly 37,300 residents, Newnan is a town in Georgia. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 55 licensed TV transmitters: 17 full-power, 7 Class A, 30 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 19 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 10 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 2 transmitters are within 25 miles, 28 between 25 and 45 miles, and 25 farther out. Five of the 11 network stations in range are licensed to Atlanta, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Atlanta's stations.

Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal) and Univision (good signal). 7 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 Newnan

Point your antenna NE, at about 43°. The main network towers for Newnan sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WAGA-TV, WUPA, WUVG-DT and WPCH-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 39 miles northeast of Newnan (43° NE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Newnan at fair strength or better, 88% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Newnan

The farthest main network tower for Newnan is WUPA (CBS), 40 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
