Five network stations, WNOL-TV, WDSU, WGNO, WVUE-DT and KGLA-DT, transmit from the same tower site about 32 miles east of Des Allemands (74° ENE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Des Allemands

The farthest main network tower for Des Allemands is WVUE-DT (Fox), 33 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

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.
