No Fox affiliate is listed within 70 miles; the nearest one in our data is WDKY-TV in Danville, KY, 98 miles to the southwest. 6 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 E, at about 94°. The main network towers for Raceland sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Four network stations, WSAZ-TV, WQCW, WOWK-TV and WLPX-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 28 miles east of Raceland (94° E). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Raceland at fair strength or better, all arrive from the east, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

The farthest main network tower for Raceland is WOWK-TV (CBS), 28 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WCHS-TV (ABC), 46 miles east, 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.
