Over-the-air TV in Convent

With roughly 711 residents, Convent is a small community in Louisiana. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 36 licensed TV transmitters: 16 full-power, 12 Class A and 8 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 22 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 12 at good or strong strength.

0 of them are within 25 miles of Convent, 21 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 15 are more than 45 miles out. Seven of the 14 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 26 (WGNO), CBS on channel 4 (WWL-TV), NBC on channel 33 (WVLA-TV), Fox on channel 8 (WVUE-DT), CW on channel 44.2 (WGMB-TV), ION on channel 49 (WPXL-TV), Telemundo on channel 42 (KGLA-DT) and MeTV on channel 39.2 (WBXH-CD). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (good signal). 5 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 Convent

The main network towers around Convent are in different directions: ABC 95° E (52 mi), CBS 99° E (48 mi), NBC 308° NW (34 mi) and Fox 95° E (53 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 34 miles northwest of Convent (308° NW). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.

Of the 12 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Convent at fair strength or better, 58% arrive from the east; the rest are spread across one other direction.

WGNO (ABC) and WVUE-DT (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Convent. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Convent

The farthest main network tower for Convent is WVUE-DT (Fox), 53 miles away with a good 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.

Setting up an antenna in Convent: step by step

Mount an outdoor antenna on the roof or a mast, as high as you can safely get it, with a clear view toward the towers.
Point it toward 95° E, the direction of WVUE-DT (Fox), 53 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 22 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.
