Over-the-air TV in Dulac

Dulac, Louisiana has a population of about 1,460. There are 21 licensed TV transmitters within 70 miles: 12 full-power, 6 Class A and 3 low-power. Based on each transmitter's power, antenna height and distance, 10 are likely to arrive at fair strength or better, and 2 at good or strong strength.

1 of them is within 25 miles of Dulac, 2 sit 25 to 45 miles away and 18 are more than 45 miles out. Six of the 8 network stations in range are licensed to New Orleans, so most of the network channels you will find here come from New Orleans's stations.

For the networks, the best local options are ABC on channel 26 (WGNO), CBS on channel 4 (WWL-TV), NBC on channel 6 (WDSU), Fox on channel 8 (WVUE-DT), CW on channel 38 (WNOL-TV), ION on channel 49 (WPXL-TV) and Telemundo on channel 42 (KGLA-DT). Spanish-language viewers can pick up Telemundo (fair signal). 4 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 Dulac

Point your antenna NE, at about 49°. The main network towers for Dulac sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Five network stations, WNOL-TV, WDSU, WGNO, WVUE-DT and KGLA-DT, transmit from the same tower site about 60 miles northeast of Dulac (49° NE). That one direction covers every station on the site.

Of the 7 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Dulac at fair strength or better, all arrive from the northeast, so this is an easy place to aim.

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

Antenna and amplifier advice for Dulac

The farthest main network tower for Dulac is WVUE-DT (Fox), 60 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.

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 Dulac: 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 49° NE, the direction of WVUE-DT (Fox), 60 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).

Rescan every few months, or whenever a channel disappears; stations occasionally change frequency.
