Which way to point your antenna in Granger
Point your antenna SSW, at about 209°. The main network towers for Granger sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, WSBT-TV and WNDU-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 11 miles southwest of Granger (210° SSW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 3 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Granger at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the southwest; the rest are spread across one other direction.
All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Granger, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Granger
The farthest main network tower for Granger is WNDU-TV (NBC), 11 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.
WPTA (ABC), 66 miles southeast and WANE-TV (CBS), 66 miles southeast, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.
WSBT-TV is only 11 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
