Which way to point your antenna in Flemingsburg

Point your antenna SW, at about 233°. The main network towers for Flemingsburg sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Three network stations, WTVQ-DT, WLEX-TV and WKYT-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 45 miles southwest of Flemingsburg (233° SW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Flemingsburg 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 Flemingsburg, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Flemingsburg

The farthest main network tower for Flemingsburg is WLEX-TV (NBC), 45 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WDKY-TV (Fox), 49 miles southwest, 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.
