0 of them are within 25 miles of Woodbine, 11 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 13 are more than 45 miles out. Five of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to Omaha, NE, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Omaha's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 7 (KETV), CBS on channel 3 (KMTV-TV), NBC on channel 6 (WOWT), Fox on channel 44 (KPTH), CW on channel 42.3 (KPTM) and Telemundo on channel 27 (KOHA-LD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (weak signal). 7 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Point your antenna SSW, at about 210°. The main network towers for Woodbine sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WOWT, KETV and KMTV-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 34 miles southwest of Woodbine (210° SSW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Woodbine at fair strength or better, 57% 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 Woodbine, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

The farthest main network tower for Woodbine is KMTV-TV (CBS), 34 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

KPTH (Fox), 64 miles northwest, 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.
