Wadley is a small community of about 2,030 people in Georgia. There are 32 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 12 full-power, 2 Class A, 17 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 6 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 3 at good or strong strength.

By distance, 1 transmitter is within 25 miles, 4 between 25 and 45 miles, and 27 farther out. Five of the 10 network stations in range are licensed to Augusta, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Augusta's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 24.2 (WGXA), CBS on channel 12 (WRDW-TV), NBC on channel 26 (WAGT-CD), Fox on channel 54 (WFXG), CW on channel 6.3 (WJBF), ION on channel 58.3 (WPGA-TV) and Telemundo on channel 17 (WGAT-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (very weak signal). 5 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

The main network towers around Wadley are in different directions: ABC 263° W (68 mi), CBS 41° NE (50 mi), NBC 41° NE (50 mi) and Fox 41° NE (50 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Four network stations, WRDW-TV, WAGT-CD, WJBF and WFXG, transmit from the same tower site about 50 miles northeast of Wadley (41° NE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Wadley at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northeast, so this is an easy place to aim.

WGXA (ABC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Wadley. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Wadley is WGXA (ABC), 68 miles away with a very weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

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.

With 6 stations at fair strength or better, Wadley ranks 343rd of 386 places in Georgia: fewer than the typical Georgia town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 50 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.

34% of Georgia's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna. The nearest larger city is Statesboro, 46 miles away.
