Four network stations, WRDW-TV, WAGT-CD, WJBF and WFXG, transmit from the same tower site about 35 miles northeast of Wrens (66° ENE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Wrens at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northeast, so this is an easy place to aim.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Wrens, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Wrens
The farthest main network tower for Wrens is WFXG (Fox), 35 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.
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.
