Over-the-air TV in Crowley

With roughly 13,100 residents, Crowley is a town in Louisiana. Within 70 miles of the town center we count 29 licensed TV transmitters: 11 full-power, 6 Class A, 11 low-power and 1 translator. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 18 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 11 at good or strong strength.

8 of them are within 25 miles of Crowley, 6 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 15 are more than 45 miles out. Four of the 12 network stations in range are licensed to Lafayette, so most of the network channels you will find here come from Lafayette's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 3 (KATC), CBS on channel 17 (KSWL-LD), NBC on channel 33 (WVLA-TV), Fox on channel 15 (KADN-TV), CW on channel 10.2 (KLFY-TV) and Telemundo on channel 50.3 (KLWB). 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 Crowley

Point your antenna NE, at about 38°. The main network towers for Crowley sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KATC and KLFY-TV, transmit from the same tower site about 9.1 miles northeast of Crowley (34° NNE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 8 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Crowley at fair strength or better, 38% arrive from the northeast; the rest are spread across three other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Crowley

The farthest main network tower for Crowley is KADN-TV (Fox), 14 miles away with a strong estimated signal. That is why we suggest an indoor antenna here.

WVLA-TV (NBC), 66 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.

K21OM-D is only 2.2 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.

Setting up an antenna in Crowley: step by step

Place the antenna high on a window or wall that faces the towers. Upstairs is better than downstairs.
Point it toward 43° NE, the direction of KADN-TV (Fox), 14 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 18 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.
