Which way to point your antenna in Ferriday

Point your antenna W, at about 277°. The main network towers for Ferriday sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.

Two network stations, KNOE-TV and KMLU, transmit from the same tower site about 50 miles northwest of Ferriday (322° NW). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 6 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Ferriday at fair strength or better, 50% arrive from the northwest; the rest are spread across two other directions.

KLAX-TV (ABC) lies beyond the radio horizon of its transmitter as seen from Ferriday. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Ferriday

The farthest main network tower for Ferriday is KLAX-TV (ABC), 59 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. If you only watch the closer stations, a smaller antenna may do.

WNTZ-TV is only 8.5 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 Ferriday: 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 266° W, the direction of KLAX-TV (ABC), 59 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 9 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.
