Four network stations, WPGA-TV, WMAZ-TV, WGXA and WMGT-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 49 miles west of Wrightsville (272° W). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Wrightsville at fair strength or better, 80% arrive from the west; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WGXA (ABC), WRDW-TV (CBS), WMGT-TV (NBC) and WFXG (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Wrightsville. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

The farthest main network tower for Wrightsville is WFXG (Fox), 70 miles away with a weak estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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 10 stations at fair strength or better, Wrightsville ranks 294th of 386 places in Georgia: fewer than the typical Georgia town (15). Its nearest major network tower is 49 miles away, against a state median of 23 miles.

34% of Georgia's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an outdoor directional antenna.
