Which way to point your antenna in Veedersburg

Point your antenna W, at about 265°. The main network towers for Veedersburg sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, WPBY-CD and WPBI-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 30 miles northeast of Veedersburg (47° NE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 9 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Veedersburg at fair strength or better, 33% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Veedersburg

The farthest main network tower for Veedersburg is WCCU (Fox), 35 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WTTK (CBS), 58 miles east and WTHR (NBC), 59 miles east, 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.

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.
