Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 15 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 6 at good or strong strength.

13 of them are within 25 miles of Brooks, 2 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 5 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 6 network stations in range are licensed to Louisville, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Louisville's stations.

The best-placed network stations are ABC on channel 11 (WHAS-TV), CBS on channel 32 (WLKY), NBC on channel 3 (WAVE), Fox on channel 41 (WDRB), CW on channel 58 (WBKI) and ION on channel 67 (WUPX-TV). 5 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Five network stations, WDRB, WBKI, WHAS-TV, WAVE and WLKY, transmit from the same tower site about 21 miles north of Brooks (339° NNW). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Brooks at fair strength or better, 83% arrive from the north; the rest are spread across one other direction.

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

The farthest main network tower for Brooks is WAVE (NBC), 22 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

WBNA is only 3.1 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.
