Delcambre, Louisiana has a population of about 1,870. 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, 15 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 7 at good or strong strength.

2 of them are within 25 miles of Delcambre, 10 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 19 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 best-placed network stations 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 (good 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 Delcambre

Point your antenna NNW, at about 330°. The main network towers for Delcambre sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KLFY-TV and KATC, transmit from the same tower site about 31 miles northwest of Delcambre (326° NW). 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 Delcambre at fair strength or better, 43% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Delcambre

The farthest main network tower for Delcambre is KADN-TV (Fox), 32 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here.

WAFB (CBS), 55 miles northeast and WVLA-TV (NBC), 50 miles northeast, are the exception: the nearest listed affiliates of those networks are 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 those.

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.

Run a full channel scan on your TV (usually Settings → Channels → Auto program; the name varies by brand).
