Which way to point your antenna in Anthony
Point your antenna NNE, at about 28°. The main network towers for Anthony sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Four network stations, KSNW, KAKE, KSAS-TV and KDCU-DT, transmit from the same tower site about 51 miles northeast of Anthony (33° NNE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.
Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Anthony at fair strength or better, 67% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.
KWCH-DT (CBS) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Anthony. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Anthony
The farthest main network tower for Anthony is KWCH-DT (CBS), 64 miles away with a fair 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.
