Cade, Louisiana has a population of about 1,720. Our map shows 31 licensed TV transmitters inside a 70-mile radius: 12 full-power, 10 Class A, 8 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 16 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 8 at good or strong strength.

5 of them are within 25 miles of Cade, 14 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 12 are more than 45 miles out. Seven of the 13 network stations in range are licensed to Baton Rouge, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Baton Rouge's stations.

The strongest network signals here are ABC on channel 3 (KATC), CBS on channel 9 (WAFB), NBC on channel 33 (WVLA-TV), Fox on channel 15 (KADN-TV), CW on channel 44.2 (WGMB-TV), Telemundo on channel 50.3 (KLWB) and MeTV on channel 39.2 (WBXH-CD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (strong signal). 3 full-power stations in range have no network listed in our data; these are typically public television, religious, shopping or independent stations.

Which way to point your antenna in Cade

The main network towers around Cade are in different directions: ABC 306° NW (28 mi), NBC 66° ENE (41 mi) and Fox 316° NW (26 mi). Aim at the farthest one you want first, or use a multi-directional antenna.

Three network stations, WGMB-TV, WBRL-CD and WVLA-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 41 miles northeast of Cade (66° ENE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Cade at fair strength or better, 43% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Cade

The farthest main network tower for Cade is WVLA-TV (NBC), 41 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WAFB (CBS), 46 miles northeast, 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.

Mount the antenna in the attic or high on the wall facing the towers, keeping the cable to the TV as short as you can.
Point it toward 66° ENE, the direction of WVLA-TV (NBC), 41 miles away. Closer stations usually come in even off-axis.
Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
Expect around 16 stations, each with a few subchannels. If one you want is missing, turn the antenna 5–10° toward it and scan again.
Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
