Point your antenna SSW, at about 195°. The main network towers for Angola sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WFFT-TV, WISE-TV, WPTA and WANE-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 38 miles south of Angola (196° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Angola at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the south; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

The farthest main network tower for Angola is WANE-TV (CBS), 39 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WNDU-TV (NBC), 63 miles west, is the exception: the nearest listed affiliate of its network is far enough away to need an outdoor antenna. Some local stations in our data carry no network tag, so check the other stations table below before buying a bigger antenna just for that one.

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.

With 12 stations at fair strength or better, Angola ranks 263rd of 352 places in Indiana: fewer than the typical Indiana town (16). Its nearest major network tower is 38 miles away, against a state median of 25 miles.

51% of Indiana's cities and towns get the same recommendation: an amplified indoor or attic antenna. The nearest larger city is Fort Wayne, 35 miles away.
