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.
